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.

For those with high-speed connections here is a video of a lump of sodium 
bouncing around in a lake:

Here s the link to the site the movie comes from, explaining how the sodium 
lept three or for times about forty feet in the air after each contact with 
H2O (mid-page, but the whole range of experiments is funny/terrifying too):

Enjoy!
