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.

Whew! That's better.

Wolfe's answer is accurate, then---Inire's appearances ARE like the cat 
in the box: he's both there and not there. It's interesting that he 
doesn't seem to do anything at these suspected appearances; for the most 
part, he's just "there." (Or not.) They're nonessential clues. We can 
take them or leave them.
