Gummed-Up Works or Got Lives?

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.

Heh! Clever segue from the fairy tale theme David.

Amusingly, when I first started hearing the term "troll" on internet, in addition

to the fairy tale reference, I thought of the fishing meaning of the word, as

in "trolling for an argument". FWIW, your prediciton of the overwhelming need to

have the "last word" did prove correct.
