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's a key to this whole thing.

I believe what I believe because of some unusual experiences that I have
had. If you, not having had these experiences, believed the same way I do,
I would have to say that I thought you were being sort of silly.
