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.

Perhaps that is the case, if you do not see the difference between my
original "still hasn't eaten  much later:" and your "still hasn't eaten 
much."

Mine means he did not eat anything during the day he met Typhon or the
next, yours commonly means he ate some small amount during the period.
This confounds my entire point with the other posters that they are
mistaken about Typhon feeding Sev.

I would give most posters a pass on accidentally trimming the quote a bit
too far, but not on then putting a period in the grammatically correct
position to make a well-formed sentence with an opposed meaning. At best
it is critical negligence to submit post containing such a
misrepresentation.
