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.

Okay, the Proustian influence on SD is well-established;=20
now to bring in another of Wolfe's well-known favorites.
I chanced across this today:

	A thing can sometimes be too extraordinary to be=20
	remembered. If it is clean out of the course of=20
	things, and has apparently no causes and no=20
	consequences, subsequent events do not recall it,=20
	and it remains only a subconscious thing, to be=20
	stirred by some accident long after. [...]

The source? GK Chesterton's "The Man Who Knew Too Much,"
the opening of Chapter V.
