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.

The story about napoleon that fits weers description would seem to be that
Napoleon was one of the first to receive a colostomy bag. He kept his hand
in his coat to keep it from passing wind.

Hey, that's what I read somewhere. Sounds like a job for
