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.

Well, that would be great! I must say that it is illuminating to learn
that during that all those years that I participated in discussions
with you trying to reconcile events...where I was running around
trying dredge up references, considering how to best answer your
challenges...that you saw me as a sucker "playing your
game"...trotting out ideas for you to shoot at in order for you to
temper your own personal theories that you would share one day or not.
However that actually makes sense looking back. I had assumed this was
a game we had all agreed to play together.
