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.

Nice try, guys but...you are wrong. I know the definition of "priggish" and I  know
priggish behavior when I see it and so do you. Any attempt to justify it is silly and 
transparent and displays a failure of recognition of mild chain yanking ;- ).
