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.

"Kim" is the most common family name in Korea.  If one wanted to pick an
iconic Korean name, it would be "Kim," with "Park" as the probable
runner-up.  It also means "gold," or rather is homonymous with the Korean
word for "gold."
Now, "Kim" is also a Chinese name, but the Chinese name is sometimes
Anglicized "Jin."  I'm not sure how many Korean names there are that have no
Chinese equivalent or cognate.
