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.

Thank you, Mr. Borski. Looking forward to your further thoughts.
Just a quick dirty little tangent I simply have to vocalize:

"...though to be fair none of the dialect is as bad as Pig's; nor
is it as syntactically warped as the Dorplanders of Blue, nor as inflected=20
as
Remora's. Still..."

(Apologies if this has been run over several times)
Did the Dorplanders' (who bookend the series) Yoda-esque dialect strike=20
anyone else as being a strange commentary on a story which is essentially=20
told backwards? Perhaps that's over-simplifying, but you get the idea.
