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.

Yes!  Thank you, Craig.  I think this clinches the Samson  explanation I was 
groping at.  I should have gone back, as you did, and  read the story again 
with Samson in mind.  I caught the "crashing down" bit  at the end and, of 
course, the "Sam" stuff, but I forgot all about  Manoe.
