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.

	Now there is a story that left me confused! It reminded me of an episode
of the Simpsons, starting at one place, moving a lot of other places, and
winding up a different story altogether. I've got to reread it and see if I
can pick up thematic continuity. Anybody want to share an analysis with us?
	Any connection with the boardinghouse in *Free Life Free*? Both are
"America." Are there Wizard of Oz allusions in "Haunted B."?
