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.

Yes, I had originally said something about excepting those who were simply 
fighting for their lives (only in the crucial moment, I add). But either way 
you have a point. Though I was hoping for a more widespread presence.
Kind of like, with all the evil in the Whorl, someone like Silk is genuinely 
good - but then Silk is only one person, even though he seems to have honest 
followers.
