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.

	In other words, when Blue becomes a Utopian society the inhumi will,
after sufficient feeding on and exposure to the ways of happy humanity,
become loving cohabitors on Blue? This seems so improbable to me; so much
sweetness and light. Besides, how is this peaceful ending a threat to the
inhumi, so much so that they would actively seek the destruction of the
one(?) man carrying the secret on Blue?
