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.

They have indicated that the brother's name was indeed Samuel.  Most people
seem to have forgotten that LOST was, at heart, a mystery show.  Mystrery
is what made the show what it was; to solve all the mysteries would have
cut the heart out of the show.  I just hope those "TV" writers inspired by
LOST will write original shows in the future.
