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.

Okay. I see what you were attempting exemplify. Unfortunately (hence my 
confusion) I didn't do that. To the contrary. I was arguing against 
Roy's and Gerry's assertion that, occulted hints be damned, it can't be 
so because Horn did not record people coming out and saying it. There 
are loads of textual support, so your presumption is wrong. Gerry does 
not deny that there is. He says it doesn't matter because everyone would 
be pointing at Silk and saying "There goes Pas!"
