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've lead mailing list discussions and peer reviews for a gaming 
publisher, and even a hand-picked panel of referees of games with 
hundreds of pages of rules and an average of more than one university 
degree remained iffy on the concept after a decade.

Likewise, and I stayed politely attentive the first seventeen times 
original sin was deconstructed here, so I think a round of technical 
science once a year or so isn't out of line for a discussion of the 
greatest science fiction author living today, or even just the author of 
"How I Lost the Second World War and Helped Turn Back the German Invasion".
