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 *told* you it was a Balrog!

Oh dear.

I don't think I was quite accurate in my portrayal of Fat Severian as Elvis.  What if in addition to *not skinny*, he is *not tall*?  Like, *distinctly* not tall?  And all the exultant stuff?  Just fantasy.

"There and Back Again" would be a perfectly good title for _BotNS_.  Hey, this is a great theory!  It needs more Daleks, though.
