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.

These concerns and the rest in your post are already addressed by their 
survival on the relatively barren New Caprica - If they were making a go 
  of it there, they'll have a much easier time of it with plentiful game 
and if they find out they are spread too thin, they can use the 
remaining Raptors to regroup.
