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.

Need I point out: So was Wesley? Probably why Methodist churches to this
day have such a strong musical tradition. And, btw, my point about how
good the music in Methodist services is (at least in my somewhat limited
experience) shouldn't be taken as a comment on the selection so much as
on the performance standards of choir, accompanist, random soloists,
etc.

Now, that may be the single scariest thing about GW I have ever heard.
Is he also a Sherman-Yankovic fan, we must wonder?
