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.

I mostly agree with the idea, but what human sacrifice by Baldanders do 
you mean?
For Baldanders, it is scientific research, even if he takes some humans 
to open
and may forget them on the operation table (like the poor
girl in the tower).
