Babbiehorn?: Was: a sincere question mostly for roy

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.

      Occam?s razor applies to all theories.  No theory of Pike?s ghost thus far is wholly satisfactory, and multiplication of entities is part of the problem.

      We are forced to assess degrees of unlikelihood.
