TSH: Ted's identity

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 think that's true, but I also think this is precisely the sort of
thing that lends credence to the idea that Bax made everything up.
There are an awful lot references to a variety of sources, ranging
from various mythologies to Dickens' _The Old Curiosity Shop_), all
things that Bax's PhD's would make him an expert in.
