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.

You can do quick and dirty.

Graft on a head, route in the spinal chord, give the two time to recover,
cut off the right (or was it the left?) head.

You'd need to have identical or clones.

In order for it to work longterm.

But if you were willing to graft your own head onto body after body, you
could do it with unrelated bodies.

You'd have to get a new one every six months or so.
