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.

Oh, and one thing that heavily suggested it was a shot of the original 
wreckage scene that the network thoughtfully showed after the end of the 
show. They later said they put it there to fill the time while viewers 
mentally decompressed, and the actual producers denied all knowledge of it.


Oh, hey here's a link to one of the earlier denials:

"Thankfully Abrams dismissed the popularly held theory that the 
castaways are stranded in Purgatory, though he claimed to like the idea."

and at the end a confirmation: "'I would be an absolute liar if I said 
every single thing was planned out from the beginning.'"
