Ansible Interview

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.

Outsider forbid we use technically accurate geometric terms when 
discussing geometry.

Lest I seem too much of a grinch, I want to thank everyone who provided 
visual aids for their efforts. I sincerely respect your willingness to 
engage the issue in earnest, if not your conclusions.
