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.

I meant that GW could not know some technical details and difficulties 
of cloning that we know now. These details
were discussed in some posts. Of course he could assume that cloning 
will be easy and advanced,
but I don't think he would have in mind such details.
