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 haven't read enough Wells to speak to that, but I do think that
"tIoDDaOS" is a love note to them both.

I did see your post in the archives, and I had the exact same reaction
to that moment in Perelandra: flashing on Silk's "I am the help."
