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.

Thanks, Larry. I do appreciate the insider information and it certainly gives
me pause.  I had the unique experience of watching all 6 years of Lost in 6 
months, done after the show's finale. I think allowed me to be more in tune
to the clues than if I had watched it on a weekly basis.

I reported my progress to a co-worker who had already seen the finale. He tried
to misdirect me to avoid spoilers but there were so many early references to 
brothers, even in the first season, that I could not be dissuaded from
an insistence that the final revelation would have a fraternal component (clues
ranging from Brothers Karamazov to the Kinks and Oasis).

If the original name of the other brother was "Samuel", I am wondering why they 
decided to delete it. The name "Jacob" was given years before they ever showed
him. Why keep "Samuel" unamed? For this reason I hesitate to completely discard
"Esau".
