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.

She may be Asian, but not Ascian. Wolfe has been quite insistent that
Ascians are not Asian - they are North American. Asians are
Xanthoderms or from the Xanthic lands.
