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.

That's an interesting idea. But my impression of cerberus was that it 
was three stories, three times, but one idea behind all. Somewhat like 
how Cerberus has three distinct heads, but each is all about cerberus 
and doggy-ness.  Like math transformations, or the voices in a fugue.
I look forward to Jim Raynor's per- prosecution.
