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.

Sorry Doubtful Tim, the one I was wondering how long it would take someone
to trot out was the 'do you think that nuclear weapons should be legal?'
The answer too that is, mostly to shut you up (they aren't incredibly
useful weapons) I am willing to allow an exception to the general rule as
long as it is understood as a single exception.

And I expect to be able to use nuclear *explosives* for my various
off-planet construction projects.

The bit about the murder rate in SF being about the same as the crime rate
in Tucson really did catch me by surprise. I will say that I would still
rather drive a cab in Tucson than in SF.
