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 Weer conjures them up just like he does the doctor.

This leads us to another conundrum: how could Weer know enough about medici=
ne
(specifically stroke treatment) to give the doctor something to say and to
cause small talk between Sherry and Ted (though the latter may be due to a
remembered event)? Or are the dead omniscient?

A tiny, teeny question: when Weer mentions his face is stuck in one positio=
n,
are we talking here about rigor mortis? In fact, is rigor mortis his "strok=
e,"
i.e. his lack of mobility?
