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.

Thats interesting.  I dont think I have ever heard that theory
proposed before.  Do you know of any textual evidence that would
support such a conclusion?  It would seem to explain Inires
construction of the Botanic Gardens and his preservation of plant life
from Urths history.
