the elephant in the room

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It seems to me that this sort of thing is a good use for a wiki page. 
I know there's a load of stuff about it in the list archives, but 
searching that for concrete information can be a painful process...

Anyway, I've set up such a page here:
http://www.holkar.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=WolfeWiki.SoldierNames
as part of my testing around the practicality of a general Wolfe 
wiki. So far I've just bunged up a load of items from SotM and a few from SoA.

If anyone else would like to contribute, by adding, improving, or 
whatever, please do -- there are some notes about that here:

best,

Mo
