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.

But the assassin can, and indeed should, be disguised, and asian people tend 
to lesser sexual dimorphism. I think Lee's idea here is genuinely good. Of 
course, that doesn't close the matter of Agia's purpose(s), nor does it 
preclude your spirit scars interpretation at all.

I also think Jeff and Ryan raise good points. The more matters such as these 
are discussed, the better our understanding of the work.
