Calde of the Long Sun and Learning to Read Wolfe

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.

If I remember correctly, wasn't the slogan chalked on a rather high wall?  I
suppose he could have gotten a ladder, and it's certainly true that he has a
motive.  But does he, or do his superiors, actually admit to it?
