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.

Where can I get a "Severian Lives" bumper sticker?  (Argent on fuligin,
if there's a choice of colors!)

I shipped a set of six workstations once, and gave them network names
of Thecla, Dorcas, Jolenta, Pia, Daria, and Valeria.  The MIS people
who bought them immediately renamed 'em after Peanuts characters, of
course.  Life just is not fair.
