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.

Of course it is.  But I don't think you have reached the second stage with 
the idea that the Green Man is a shapeshifting Father Inire.  Why him - why 
not Dorcas, say?  Or Vodalus?  Or all of them?  Maybe that's where this 
theory ends...

I'm interested in substantive ideas.
