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.

Apollo not a hunter? God of the bow, stalker and slayer of the python, 
tracker of stolen cattle, stalker and taker of infant Hermes, relentless 
pursuer of Daphne, co-stalker and co-slayer of Niobe's children, cast in 
bronze at his Pompeii temple in the same archery pose as his hunting 
goddess twin sister's bronze at her Pompeii temple? That 
Apollo-not-a-hunter?
