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.

Glad you wrote that: it occured to me after I'd posted, so now at least two
of us are thinking it.  OTOH, it would be a clincher if the tattoo were
"RMN," since North is clear on the middle name.
