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.

Hi all,

Guys, some of you are currently making this list a really annoying 
place to hang out -- to the extent that I'm just deleting threads unread.

It always seems to be observations about one another's distasteful 
modes of discourse that gets us to this point. I would really like 
that to be a banned topic, as it seems never to be helpful or 
informative, but invariably produces a trail of vitriol.

Could you please just lay off each other?

best wishes,

Mo
