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 quick note on the Beckett bit:
I think Mahood and the Worm are different characters only insofar as the=20
multiple personality disorders of Malone are different: when the penis is=20
limp, it is the worm, and the narrator "Mahood" goes to sleep and and is ta=

over.  When it is erect, it is "awake".

In other words, both Malone and his genitals suffer from MPD.  Hmm.

Sorry to clog up the urth list with that, but I knew that someone here woul=

get the same idea!  Hopefully, no one was offended.  Hey, Beckett wrote it!=20
Take care, all.
