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.

Obviously one can't complain about feelings, but I just can't  
understand how you may feel that way. Only if you feel it's too  
cartoonish to be true, but this isn't at all the only instance of such  
humour by GW.
