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 dunno, I found the movie an excellent parody of the book.  The events of
the movie weren't the events of the book, but the society portrayed by the
movie is the society that I think the ideas in the book would have created
in practice.
