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 spear that pierced Christ's side. What can I say? That's just the 
way I'm wired, I guess. I even thought the reference was obvious when I 
wrote it this morning. Clearly, I'm a little crazy, but sometimes it 
works. It gives me an appreciation for Wolfe's problem with getting his 
clues across.
