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.

Well, of course, one might argue that this is the point - his "good"
men are stomach-churning, hellish people also. One and all - as near
as I can tell - his narrators are in desparate need of salvation. Even
those, like Silk and Severian, who bring it.
