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.

Or yet another anarchist whining about how he doesn't like reality cause
it's got nasty bits.

He's not just one ordinary bator, you know.


Imagine no more clothing
We never wear a stitch
Imagine no possessions
It's easy if you're rich
