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.

Stu, I think I'm going to start the Long and Short again very soon.

I'm sure some of y'all have read those Coloured Fairy Books. I just  
picked up a few (Red, Brown and Green). Some great looking stuff in  
there. I'm simultaneously hoping they're "for kids" enough to read  
them to my son, and yet interesting enough for me to bother with. I'm  
not getting much out of reading him Harry Potter. :P
He's just learning to read, but he can listen attentively and keep  
track of plots really well.  We've been reading a bit of Pyles King  
Arthur. super cool. (the illustrations in all of these book are awesome)
