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.

But that's not at all what I'm saying. Of course there are loadheaps  
of dots to connect. What I'm arguing against is their wanton  
connection -precisely because there is so much to work with. That's  
why I insist on results: don't connect things because you believe they  
fulfill some pattern - patterns are a dime a dozen. Rather, connect  
them if they lead to novelty.
