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.

Your chain was not being yanked. That was a completely serious post, in
which I tried to identify Matthew (whom I consider an interesting and
imaginative nut-case, which may bring out your humourless Baptist
feelings--rising to the bait) as a hard-line resurectionist going against
the at-the-time and still orthodox  Jewish majority feeling that this was/is
a somewhat ridiculous position.
