My Life With Latro

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.

Best of luck to you and your important person.

Perhaps watch Memento as well?

And books on forgetting:

(Looks like they forgot Latro)

Again, best of luck
