Appearances of Inire

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 the reason I seldom remember the english proverb is that it evokes 
in me the image of a single soul's gradual descending path into damnation. I 
might remember it if I were going after that image. The portuguese one 
rather suggests a lot of people with good intentions rather than a single 
person with a lot of good intentions.

A fabulous thing, intentions.
