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.

As is the spring Mimir, which I think is mentioned only once.  It's 
where the Valfather took Able to drink so as to recover his memories 
(page 56 of TW).Again, it's not a simple cut-and-paste version, though.  
I'd bet there's many more references to the Norse mythos we haven't 
found yet.

> P.S.  Damn.  Trolls *are* part of the Norse mythos.  Oh well.

Again, not quite a simple cut-and-paste version.
