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.

Let me be the first to help you in your quest!  (I'm looking at a map.)

Chicago and Palatine are in Cook County.  Barrington looks to be on the
northern edge of Cook County (but it might well be in the next county), and
the county north of Cook is Lake County.  South of Palatine (Palatine is
about in the middle of a rectangle leg of Cook) is Du Page County (Itasca
is in Du Page).  Aurora is in Kane County.

So "Pool County" is likely to be Lake County.
