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.

That doesn't matter. He cannot be proved wrong. In this school of
theorizing, whatever a character (particularly a character who is more than
one character) says that seems to support a given theory is to be accepted
as true. Whatever that character (or characters) says that is inconvenient
to or contradicts that theory can be safely dismissed as a lie. Very simple,
very neat.
