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.

some substance.  >>

I think no one's ever responded to my suggestion, some time ago, that human=

might become inhumi-proof with an injection of blood from the Neighbors or=20
"Vanished People."  Maybe this suggestion is so boneheaded that it's deserv=

no reply.  But stubbornly I haven't given up on the notion yet, partly=20
because there's some vague hinting (I'll go back to OBW and quote a couple=20
passages if it would help the discussion) about blood brotherhood, so to=20
speak.  Any chance of success in this direction, do you think?
