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.

Oooooooh, you cheeky thing, you.  Now when did I -ever- say "If it's not
on the web, it can't be true"? I merely cited supporting evidence. I'm
inclined to respond that the tactic of putting words into your
opponents' mouths is somewhat scary coming from a man of -your-
intelligence.

As another example of supporting evidence, have you tried entering
"Carina" into the search field of your Web site? You'll get four
different listings, none of which claim Carina is a variant of Katherine
at all.
