Why I don't like TBOTSS

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.

It's just you feeling grumpy.  ;-)

No.  I can see it.   I have even had the experience of reading the SS books
and having it come out like that.  They are hard books to read and they take
a lot of effort, continual effort, to read.
