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.

Well, Lee, you have never explained it to my satisfaction either. I
simply do not see what the interpretive benefit of this theory
(finding Inire everywhere) is, or how to reconcile it with the plain
face value of, e.g., the death of Dorcas's husband. There is no
textual reason to believe that Inire can "pinch off" subroutines like
Tzad, and even if I take it as a given, I don't see the value of
Dorcas's husband being Inire.

Can you clarify this so that a dummy like me can understand it?
