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 accidentally sent the following only to Ab, but I think it is relevant to
the whole list, as I came to a realization. Able runs through the green
tube where Mag's letter is supposed to be in the Room of Lost Love to
return to Mythgarthr, the tube expanding to contain him. At the end, Able
actually becomes the letter which Michael will deliver to his mother and
brother in dreams, whether they understand it or not. Thus the blended
knowledge of America, lives mixed up, etc. I think a paragraph or two in
the writeup can clear this up, but I chose the correct title.

It came to me today how Michael is going to deliver Able?s letter. When he
