giants and magic gems and dudes wearing all black

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.

  Anything can be adapted.  The question is more about how much would
it (inevitably) lose in the process, or how acceptable would the de
rigeur changes be without losing all that is worthwhile in both the
essence and the substance (in the Aristotelian sense) of the work.
