Urth Digest, Vol 57, Issue 16

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.

Interest rates of 35%, the max now allowed in the US, is usury, because it exceeds 20%. It is most commonly found in credit card and payday loan
"fine print."

Still illegal in the Muslim world, that bastion of social  
equity...but more commonly called 'interest' in these parts, not  
'payday loans'.  Now legal? Wha?
