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 true. And I don't think we should jettison all that examination with 
the idea that all choices are merely the pursuit of "happiness" which is 
defined as "that which we pursue".

And (ideally) the Overcyns follow the pattern of the beings of Kleos.
