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.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying Jeff. Especially about the COnfederacy family. Are there
racial or religious issues I am unaware of? Am I being told to drop what works for me and start using 
what works for Jeff Wilson? I really am confused here.

Perhaps the confusion is in my use of the vernacular "works for me". This does not imply convenience
on my part.  It is actually more trouble for me to type out people's name, eschew email addresses and
cut and past only the specific parts of a post I am addressing. I do it for what I perceive as clarity.
Again I apologize for the mistaken attribution but I don't want to add clutter to my posts just to avoid
the occcasional error such as that. If it really did cause pain I'm sorry. (not to imply that I have any
humane qualities, let's not go TOO far! You're gonna ruin my reputation with that crap)
