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'm not sure what you mean by "another version" of Reis. If you mean a 
Woldercanian copy/doppelganger, this is subject to the same issue of 
lovable/unloveable copies. If this is a *temporal* clone of Bill, he 
will have to complete his own timeline by going back to die before he 
gets too old to carry off the impersonation.
