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.

Parallels maybe between the Brown Book stories (plus the other "fairy
stories") and the story told by "Loyal to the Group of 17". In both cases,
narratives constructed from "recycled", formulaic components (myths and
slogans), in the absence of language to express them directly ...
