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.

Funny; haven't been around Urth much the last couple of days, but this=20
possiblity was nagging at me this very morning...the text states, however,=20
that the Platonic people were _round_ and _double-faced_, but I guess that=20
it's a serviceable analogy if you drop those details...and why not?
