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 sorry, Mr. Kipling, but you just don't know how to use the
English language."

-- Editor of the San Francisco Examiner informing Rudyard Kipling
(who had one article published) that he shouldn't submit a second
article for publishing, 1889

Taken from The Experts Speak: The Definitive Compendium of Authoritative
Misinformation (Cerf and Navasky, New York: Pantheon Books, 1984).
