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.

What Nutria would say: ;-)

Watchmen begins and ends with Rorshach's Journal. The journal reveals the
sordid plot to us (readers of Watchmen), but it also about to be revealed
to the New American editors. The lame cover story will be undercut, and
the world will continue to careen towards holocaust. Dr. manhattan says
"nothing ever ends".

Rorshach's Journal represents the triumph of the Word over deception.

have to transmit my mental experiences lest I die." |                 + | +
