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.

It can really depend on the conditions, and your "feed stock". The 
easier it is get life, the more typical people will be there, who make 
it less of a hell hole and are more likely to take rational stances like 
just wanting to be left alone, or being able to form groups for 
self-defense that a slightly more enlightened than just another gang.
