Carry on Critics

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'd like to be Hildegrin, because Mr Badger in Wind in the Willows is one
of my favourite fictional creations.  I've been wondering if it had it in
his mind when he wrote the Lake of Eternal Sleep scene --- lots of rushes
and backwaters as well as badgers.

(There's another for sports journalists, desperately trying to fill
pre-superbowl slots with idiotic questions.)
