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.

To answer Mark's questions in order: it's not, no, and so what?

People divide into those who wish to control the actions of others and
those who do not. The motivations of the first group are of interest to
me, so when I observe this behavior, I have been known to attempt to
ascertain the motivations of the individual so behaving.
