PEACE: Smart

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.

I had always thought that Weer gaining control of the company was
completely independent of his connection to Smart.  When Smart died (or
retired) Weer had been at the company the longest and was the best man for
the job.  Is there any evidence that disproves this?  It has been a while
since I read PEACE.
