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.

That's my favorite too.  Puddleglum is one of my favorite characters
in all fiction I'd have to say.  And Jill and Eustace with their
constant bickering are much more easy to relate to than say Lucy or
Peter or even Edmund (who became rather boring once he reformed).

Narnia references in the popular media: I saw an episode of the
Powerpuff Girls recently where the mayor of Townsville sold out to a
super-criminal for "a room full of Turkish delight!"
