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 hate to say it, but this narrator pales in comparison with the American
Library for the Blind's narrator, Roy Avers.  I've been so excited for a
version that doesn't have all sorts of background noise, but listening to
the sample at Audible, I'm disappointed. This guy makes it all sound so
flat and wooden. too bad.
