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.

<shivers!>

Am I the only one whose Silk's recoiling at the idea of being in the same 
room as Rose was transferred to myself? (Awful grammar, I know, but I felt 
like using it.)
