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.

Well, here's another one: why would massive flooding kill a bunch of giants
who _live in the water_?? The only thing I figure is that if you're a giant
who lives in the water and get caught above a sea bottom that decides it
wants to be a continent now, you've got problems.

Something else?

Best,


Jim
