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.

I think you are right.    "Libertarianism" was just my retreat from having
to explain all that stuff that Patera Nutria explained so much better than I
ever could.

Without flattering you all, I realise am going to have to post at a rather
higher level of sophistication than I expected to keep my nose above water
here.
