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.

Another one.  After describing his near drowning on the day he rescued
Vodalus, he says "I never went back" to the river.  Yet a few chapters
later, ("The Last Year", I think) he describes taking the apprentices down
to swim in the river, "though I could never dive in deep water without
fear."
