And Why Did They Appear?

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 take it you mean that on the one hand, House knows that going into the
freezer is a bad idea, while on the other, House sees no alternative way to
save Sherby? Thus, one of the "savior" personages advises it, even though
House knows it is not a good thing?
    Hey, if shutting down the listserve for a couple of weeks results in
posts as good as this one, let's shut it down more often! Great stuff.
