Death and Destruction

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.

/me is disquieted; cannot reasonably parse & interpret above statement. 
Is it a cogent agreement and
amplification of the aforegoing? An especially ironic and subtle dig at 
the author of
the aforegoing?  Something else even diabolical and intricate, ramping 
even further
up the dizzying infinite insane meta-levels of post-modern irony and 
epistolary techniques?

/me head asplodes.
