Borski's 5HOC site

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.

I think the best thing to do for cases like this would be for the admin to 
lock the pages and disallow editing, and to put an introduction at the top 
with attribution to Borski and explaining why editing is not allowed.
