Sign from the fish's belly

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.

This is not exactly what I was getting at.

If you, an ordinary person, go and stand in front of a King and tell
him that he is forbidden from doing something he wants to do (for
instance), or go to an enemy country and stand up in the public
marketplace and stand up and tell all passersby what horrible people
they are, your life is likely to end swiftly and painfully.
