Suzanne Delage redux

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.

"The rest" meaning vampires and such. Only one mechanism is needed to 
make something occur, such as an old, sick person being young again. If 
you have cloning, that's it. That's your mechanism.

Obviously a theory has to account for the influenza, etc.

But I'll have to reread it.
