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.

tried three times, never got further.
is there a reason to care within all that psychedelic listing of detail?
I love the way Burroughs will ramble on a jag, he's always entertaining or perverse. With Pynchon I kept wondering why I should even care.
hurm...
