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.

Nevertheless, David Duffy's equivalences are amusing and apt. I'm looking
forward to the movie--fairly appreciative review (negatives: too much
background music, too repetitive, women simply banner objects, though
apparently Cate Blanchett looks spectacular as Galadriel) in The New Yorker.
