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.

Brilliant!

Of course, you have the potential problem of the khaibit offspring being 
neither legitimate nor exultant.

But that sort of thing can be solved just by ignoring it---if society at 
large only cares about the nobility of the sperm, there is no problem.
