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.

It's too hard to pick *the* favorite plus I have
not yet read everything, so I'll just pick *a*
favorite.

I love this exchange from _Return to the Whorl_

p. 60 "It's something we get from you, a need to
become more and more like you, until we're as human
as we can possibly be."
  "We feel it too," I told her, "though not always
as strongly as we should."
