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'm a bit lost. Have we actually established WHEN Rudesind was a child? 
We're dealing with Time Travelers here. I think it is problematic that 
Rudesind is Inire. But is it impossible that Inire is Fetchin? And that 
Rudesind is from the 20th century?
