list slowdown

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.

I'm trying. And this topic seems important enough to use my fourth (I
believe) for the day.

I agree with Mark. The list is getting a little out of hand, and a lot
of the current discussion seems to be an elevated version of "No it
isn't!" "Yes it is!"

(The mailers that start new threads automatically don't help either,
but I'm not sure what can be done about that.)
