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.

One more thing. Delaney is indeed covered in hair, or at least he was two
weeks ago. Baldy seems to me a perfectly logical contraction of
Baldanders--why should it refer to hair? And how does Baldy relate to
Delaney (who is short, and by now quite rotund)? I've always thought of him
as Northern European in flavor, what with his troll-like aspects and that
Gothic castle.
