AEG: Bill's wives

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.

Zelda owns a hopper. Could she also be some sort of time-traveler? It 
will fit Casey's need perfectly to have some valuables deposited that 
she can access in the future even after her mojo loss. Either that or 
Zelda is composing a haiku. "Safety deposit" has five syllables.
