explain yourself

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 should be:

"x" is to "the Just Man" as "Theseus" is to "The Tale of the Student and
His Son" and/or as "Romulus and Remus" is to "The Tale of the Boy Called
Frog"

Because Theseus doesn't really apply to "The Tale of the Boy Called Frog"
(and it is "Called," not "Named").

Sorry for the confusion.
