Collusion

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.

Interesting.  I'd heard that you can play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with
2001: A Space Odyssey (the film) simultaneously, and that the band timed the music
that way.  Let me reiterate that I am not making that claim here about Radiohead and
those parallels to BotNS.

I also wanted to say that I should have dictionaried 'collusion' before I used it as
my subject.  I didn't intend it in the sense of 'connivance' but merely in the sense
of 'hidden colloboration', which it might not even have.
