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.

That it would most likely progress quickly?

What I mean is that a SF author in the '80s could safely postulate easy and 
advanced cloning, since there are no obvious impassable physical or 
biological barriers to it.
