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.

Bah, I spent enough time in middle management for that to be enough to 
explain the story  (I still think _Peace_ embodies Wolfe's guilt for his 
part in creating the disgusting 'Pringles').

Aside from that, maybe echoes of Pohl's 'Tunnel Under The World'.
