Typhon's scene - (sorry - last time)

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.

That's a bit harsh. Marc's paraphrase includes some paraphrased reported
speech, so he puts it in quotes. It's not like he's faking up a reference or
something. Maybe it'd be helpful if he flagged it as a paraphrase, but it's
not that big a deal, I think.
