Marc's smoking gun?

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.

Is that the kind of dog that grabs something and won't let it go until you
hit it with a stick?  In all seriousness though, I don't mind being wrong or
being corrected but if I'm not satisfied with an answer, or feel like I
haven't gotten one, I tend to get pesky.  Hopefully not too pesky.  I'm not
sure that I'm ready to yield on the matter of Silk's enlightenment, but I do
see the flaws in my argument and plan to mull it over.  Thanks for the
patient answers.
