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.

With all this talk of fake books, I just wanted to point out that someone h=

to be the ancient book.  You can pick up a copy, too!  Since it has come in=

real existence, does it really qualify for the library of imaginary books? =20
Once you become real, you can't ever become unreal (or something like that =

of philosophy can be found in The Velveteen Rabbit)
