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.

H'mmm. Well, I would have said that the usual science-fictional sense of
"parallel universes" includes the idea that they are in some sense moving
along in time next to ours. The "mirror universe" in Star Trek is a classic
example.

Also, please refrain (note that I am asking politely) from using the term
"sci-fi." Some find it very offensive.
