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.

Until you said it, I hadn't realized that my vision of Typhon was Alexander. I drew him the other day and was compelled to put a laurel wreath on his head, which is totally inappropriate, but it came out that way. Blonde hair and all.
