Borski (Was: Re: Urth Digest, Vol 71, Issue 41)

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.

Which is either a a recommendation or a warning. have to say I find 
quite a number of Borski's interpretations more than somewhat fanciful. 
Was intending to ask about this on list but Tim got in there ahead of me 
- making me wonder if there might be a 'consensus' regarding Borski ... 
if he's on this list I have missed him, Ohai Robert if you're out there, 
I have read your stuff with huge amounts of interest but also some 
skepticism!

As usual modifying the header because if I don't I will not receive my 
post on list or otherwise, stoopid ISP :)
