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.

The coldhouse prank was in 1938.

Weer met Sherry around 1954.

Sherry was only just born at the time of the prank (1954 - 16 =3D 1938).
Which is rather weird, come to think of it.
