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.

There's a point of diminishing returns once the evidence is laid out, I think, James. We tried. No sense frustrating each other.  heh heh.

FWIW, I had a REALLY hard time accepting that Silk would be actually suicidal.  In my mind a good hero like Silk seemed to be simply isn't, especially such a Catholic seeming one ... but it turns out the more I look at things, yeah, he actually is. The text led me dragging and screaming to that ugly fact about him.
