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.

Do you see this story as having anything to do with the _Sun_ cycle? I
feel it should have, as there are three stories called 'The * who *
the Sun', and the other two are certainly connected. But if so, it's
hard to make out.

Can you expand on that?
