Sev's not-so-perfect memory

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.

They might also be errors in interpretation.  Perhaps Drotte and Roche=20
both said it, but at
one point it was more significant that one said it, and at another time=20
the other.  Maybe
Vodalus handed the pistol to Thea with his helper as an intermediary.=20
 After a while it starts
to sound like Biblical exegesis.  Which may be the point.
