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.

Possibly 'on top of' would be the most natural construction?  But I myself
might be likely to say 'atop' - but I'm a long-time lyricist/poet/whatever,
so I'm apt to use older or odd wording and generally not know what I'm
doing, just naively thinking things 'sound cool'.

(Funny comment about the books not setting one another aflame!)
