Is Agia a robot?

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.

Official Proclamation: top-posting, while discouraged, is not
forbidden on the urth list, and is on the list of
things-too-trivial-to-complain-about.

Doesn't hurt to remind people to trim quoted material, though!  Yeah,
when you reply, it's best to remove everything but the minimum needed
to make the context clear.

Also, this whole Agia-as-robot thread is pretty fascinating, thanks!
