Like a good Neighbor

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.

> Gerry, are you saying a man can't be thirsty twice before he has a drink?

When he came to himself and sat up (after a period in which he was not really conscious at all ? his spirit wasn?t present, as he puts it), he was ?terribly thirsty?.  [Also cold and full of pain, which he mentions first.]

Some days went by, in which (as he tells us) he desperately tried to scrape droplets of dew from the walls.

When the long-nosed man came and sent him on his astral jaunt, he told Nettle that he was ?dying of thirst?.  Not that he was ?terribly thirsty?.
