OT - Watchmen on trial

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.

Is that really the best readng of "Overcyn"? AFK, "cyn" = "kin",
and you could just read it as "the folks who live up there". Or
maybe even, "our kin up above". (I get the sense that the Overcyns
are somehow "kin" to humans - Art seems to make a point of it from
time to time - though I don't know how that fits with humans having
been raised from animals.)
