PEACE: Coldhouse expanded

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.

At the time of the big PEACE discussion, I dreamed up a theory as a reductio
ad absurdum of the unreliable Weer: that nothing interesting actually
happened to Weer--he made up Bobbly Black, the egg hunt, the coldhouse
prank, the treasure hunt, and all to conceal the fact that he led a boring
life.  It sounds like you've been seriously contemplating something like
this theory (which I'd actually be more willing to take seriously now than I
did then).
