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 man, just kidding.
I'm just glad I'm not overly invested in any of my readings.
dang, it's gotta hurt. What can you do when your text is printed wrong?
it's like if I did a painting of the Amphisbaena based on the typo where he writes "Hand" instead of "Head". My serpent would be chomping it's hand.
