How list works and questions to mailers

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.

The Fortune of War is actually the last O'Brian book I read. I'm tempted to
start in on The Surgeon's Mate tonight, but I somehow think studying is a
wiser choice.

Obviously Boston has changed a lot since Jack and Stephen were there, but it
was neat to read about them going to places I'm familiar with - though I've
never had quite as "exciting" a time as Stephen did, what with all those
shady Frenchmen...

When I'm back in Boston, I'm planning to get some friends together to go
visit the U.S.S. Constitution, which is still docked in Boston.
