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.

So you're saying that you didn't notice that they were there before? But 
your wording suggested you were aware of them. If you were, what has 
changed? I'm assuming it wasn't Ryan's mentioning them, since you say they 
are almost self-evident. What then?
