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.

Oh boy...
All of the energy I put here is to find agreement.  If I'm saying why I think your idea doesn't add up, it's because I'm trying to push us towards an solution that agrees with the text and seeming spirit of the books.  I think most of us opperate that way here.
