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.

Seeing as the war apparently takes place within Commonwealth territory and 
is carried out largely by professional soldiers and mercenaries, that view 
doesn't hold water.

Though I don't see what directing either a fake or real war has to do with 
the man in the sewer. He might represent the antagonists of the New Sun, how 
is FI an antagonist of the New Sun?
