This Week in Google Alerts: Home Fires

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.

Right--that's probably why the comment surprised me so much (prompting the
visceral reaction); it seemed to come out of the woodwork.  Certainly
nothing like the "stories" that Gwern shared earlier, which are both
straight up political screeds.
