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.

Marc,

I'm beginning to get a glimmering of what you're talking about. Is it
possible for you to lay out what you believe is going on, in a fairly
brief and linear fashion? I've read your lengthy essay and came away
only a little the wiser; I must be a slow learner here.
