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.

Indeed. I've never understood this. If Jahlee can survive being buried for 
years - and the Rajan expected to find her alive there - there must be 
something more to Fava's death, which we irritatingly know zilch about.

Have you not heard of the Lovable Water Bears?
