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.

Sure. Let's remember that explanation for seeing the Red Sun from Blue was Antonio's. I only 
brought up Borges' Babel Library as a contribution to discussion of that theme. Adam Thornton's
reverie on the matter is along the same lines.

I think bad astronomy makes a better explanation to rescue Marc's theory than a localized 
space-time warp.
