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.

Seems like pretty good arguments for Shadow Children to be native to Ste. Anne. I think James might
agree. But Gerry says his conclusion is the best. What am I supposed to do? Ignore someone and latch
onto the other? The agony. Surely one of these "best" has to be the obvious and clear best.  Doesn't it? 

I mean, there is no possible way elements of both could be true.  Is there?
