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.

I don't  think there is any "group". I 've never met any of these 
people. I feel my arguments have been more systematically critical of 
Marc's Tree Theory as well as his Green Urth theory than anybody. Gerry 
thinks he's done a capital job at it. Maybe you do to. But from where 
I'm standing he's just been insulting and, overall, has done little to 
advance the discussion or address the problems and weakness in the 
theories, because he is congenitally incapable of addressing the Flags 
that are important to the theories. In fact, I suspect nothing has 
caused ME to want to rally to Marc's theory and find support for it than 
posts like the following:
