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.

If I expressed myself in a cruel manner, I apologize. I did
not intend it. I may seek truth and clarity, but not penance
(except in myself).=3D20

Gaaah. No. It seems rather thirsty, but hardly dead ... I
hoped, not to get you to drop your comparison, but to seek
that "smoking gun" - to prop it up with solider props, if
you can find such.=3D20

We play the game that way ... certainly the other residents
of this list have challenged some of my wonky ideas in a
similar manner, and I've had to back off some, holding
others in reserve until I find more, better evidence ...=3D20
I suspect your idea here should reside in the latter class.

Yeah ... it really took me by surprise, but Herbert strikes
me as the sort of person who almost certainly would use=3D20
Graves as a resource (much as, say, Delany did in THE JEWELS
OF APTOR). But then, the Bene Gesserit manipulation of=3D20
bloodlines has long stood as a basic pillar of my theory of=3D20
DUNE as a fascist novel...
