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 notice that none of the "we can never know anything absolutely" team on this thread has accepted my challenge to explain how A can be true, and A implies B can be true, and yet B can be false.  I think maybe everything that can be said on this subject has been said.  I think maybe I'll go home and read a story by Gene Wolfe.
