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 have previously mentioned that I think part of the origins of BotNS are 
as a dialogue with _Dune_ and _Empire Star_, both of which share many of 
the same plot elements.  Then, Valeria is Irulan, a political marriage 
but not his true love, his grandmother ;)

Just another 2c, David Duffy.
