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.

Not unless they started in Uganda (or Ethiopia); the Nile flows from
South to North. They are sailing up the Nile. I wonder if they are=20
going to use the canal.

Sidon's a good place to be from if you want to do some serious world
travelling in the the fifth century BC. Can't wait to see GW's take
on Phoenician religion.
