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.

This, to me, is the strongest argument for believing that the inhumi
fly through space. They may be liars, but they all tell the same story
on this, and, unless you believe that they are in collusion, which is,
I suppose, possible but seems to me to resemble a conspiracy theory
like the Bavarian Illuminati controlling the Jewish Bankers, the
Trilateral Commission, and the Jesuits -- unless, as I say, you
believe that, or else the equally remarkable coincidence that they
seem to all instinctively come up wiht the same story, then you must
conclude that they are telling the truth and fly through space ...
which is, indeed, a cool idea.
