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.

[spectacled bear coefficient =3D high]
[balances pole on end]

In _The Iron Man_ by Ted Hughes, there's a giant space
creature, the space-bat-angel-dragon.

[tries to climb pole]

All this talk of iron men on the ship of a giant space angel
reminded me of it.

[pole falls down with bear on it]

Oh well :-)
