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.

Eh? Setting forest fires seems to me to be one of the most cost-effective ways of provoking damage and terror. If terrorists don't do it it's because even they can't justify killing innocent wildlife and leaving the attack unclaimed would make it worthless. What is it I'm nit getting?
