Father Inire's Mirrors and Wolfe Physics

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.

No, bugs are undocumented features. These are merely poorly=20
documented. Most of them have been well documented at one
time or another, but the documentation has been lost, suppressed,
ignored or whatever. A lot of it is actually still around, even
quite widely distributed, but most people - even the people who=20
have the most to do with it - don't understand it.
