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.

I imagine that if this is going to be real, at some point we will discover
his likes and dislikes in these matters, which we will then conform to.

I remember from his writings that he doesn't want to be sent out after
ice. That should be fairly easy....
