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.

Sigh. Tsk tsk tsk.

Here comes a litany of elaborate theories for each of a series of pointless 
"lies" Reis/Rosenquist/Rusterman tells a when a single global explanation 
stands a decent chance of explaining it all. Why? Because it is 
aesthetically unappealing (to some). Personally, I find a single leap to 
explain many mysteries more aesthetically appealing than a dozen leaps and 
buying offs on lame excuses by Reis to explain a dozen strange lies.

Look, Reis says that he saw Cassie for the first time wearing a green dress 
at the party. He says he didn't see the final performance of "The Red Spot". 
Even though we know he saw her in the play. What possible reason could he 
have to lie to Cassie about that? Maybe he found the truth aesthetically 
unappealing?
