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.

Tony Ellis:

	Once you start writing your own story into the gaps in
	someone else's, it's really not that hard to find
	connections suggesting that it was there all
	along. "Rosencrantz and Guildstern Are Dead" is a classic
	example of what I mean.

Rostrum:

	Or maybe URTH OF THE NEW SUN?

Or ENDYMION/RISE OF ENDYMION, which completely rewrote
HYPERION/FALL OF HYPERION and also PISSED ME OFF.

[Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion, by
Dan Simmons.  Read the first two!]
