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.

Your stated philosophy of communication is that it is primarily for the 
convenience of the sender? As one of your receivers, I find that 
repugnant, insulting, and exploitative, not unlike the attitudes of 
spammers or demonstrative racists. But as a member of what is left of 
the first family of the Confederacy, I'm used to it, and I regret that 
it obscures the other, more humane qualities you may have.
