Overthinking/Underthinking "The Fifth Head of Cerberus"

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.

He didn't just nod at the handwriting in the journal, though.  He went 
looking for Victor's school composition book and inspected the first few 
pages.  *Then* he nodded.
