Recent human crash-landing on Sainte-Anneþ

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.

Sorry for the misquote. All my fault..carelessness I think. Still I like my way of
quoting. WOrks best for me and avoids a lot of clutter.

Only in terms of accomplishing my goals. I am sorry to offend. But I am loathe to ride on 
the pretense that I am a cold, robotic academician. I have emotions and human failures and 
will admit to them when I am aware of them.

Heh! THat brought a grin to my face. One BotNS's most interesting I think. And kudos to both David 
and Marc for recent posts. True literary creations, imho.

Hah. I am actually a sax player (hence my nom de internet, bsharporflat)
