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.

And I sensed you were offended when Dan'l implied you were a pedant yourself, so didn't know where you decided to draw the line. I mean, is investigating the source of the astronaut painting any more pedantic than locating a sex doll who escaped a lemonwood box? Not a jibe, mind you, an honest curiosity. ...ryan On Jul 2, 2010, at 12:30 AM, brunians at brunians.org wrote: > What you mean by this? > > . > > >> Josh, >> >> Do you really think this is any more pedantic than our Agia as robot >> discourse? >> >> I happened to find my virgin reading of that passage (about the astronaut) >> one of the first OH WOW! moments of the series.
