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.

Hey, back then, when there was only 4-5 channels to watch, everybody watched Star Trek. If you liked science 
fiction you couldn't help but be influenced by it. On the other hand, nobody (in America) was watching Dr. Who 
in the late 60's so I agree with those who argue that it wasn't an influence and there are no daleks in BotNS.
