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.

Well, I wasn't looking for specific examples, really, though I do thank tho=
se
who have since posted some I was unaware of. What I did want were thoughts =
of
people who may have tried to explain the BotNS to people who have never read
the books. What worked? What didn't? How do I make people want to read this
incredible text?

Thanks,
