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.

Of course Wolfe was cautious with regard to digital computers in 5HOC.  Mr. 
Million requires a train of large cabinets to support a core capacity that 
is less than that of a cheap Android tablet.  (His programming is obviously 
more advanced, though.)
