Digest from urth@urth.net

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.

That as _Urth_ for me. I was annoyed and confused when
I first read it. It just seemed to be a bunch more
stuff tacked onto the end of TBOTLS. After reading
this list for awhile, and then re-reading TBOTLS and
Urth, I'm stunned and embarrassed that I missed so
much.

Hmm... add _Free_Live_Free_, which I still have
reservations about, but appreciate a lot more after
reading this list and then rereading.

Both of these revisions occured... oh jeez, could it
have been six years ago? Has this list really been
around that long? Jumpin' Jiminy.
