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.

You have not mentioned the fairy tale of Rip Van Winkle (or is that too American

to be known around the world?). Anyway, we are not discussing a hypothesis here.

Many have just reported feeling a sense of fairy tale elements (and S & S) while

reading BotNS. That is a fact and not subject to disproof.

Gerry is too new to have chased those guys away. And from what I can see he hasn't

chased anyone away during his time here. If anything he has drawn a number of people 

more intensely into the conversation.

I've said it before, repeatedly and I'll say it again- Gerry Quinn is a great 

contributor to this list. He is the non-comedic Andy Kaufman of the lupine world. He

is the self-proclaimed scorpion. He demands attention and invariably gets it, then

steps back with arms folded in mirth to survey the mayhem he has created. Brilliant!
