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 anything by Donna Bar, but I absolutely love Finder by 
Carla Speed McNeil.  My favorite story has to be "Talisman" but all of 
them -- especially "Dream Sequence" and "The Rescuers" -- are amazing.  
Finder is easily in my top 5 comics (with the others probably being 
Fables, Hellboy/BPRD, Sandman, and Bone).
