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.

Thank goodness--I just haven't read the Covenant books in so long that my
memory of the details is slowly eroding.  This lessens the spooky resemblan=

considerably.

By the way, you can all drop the "David Groce" part.  "Alex" is plenty (the
stuffy signature is because I'm too lazy to get multiple signatures working
right with my Rube Goldberg mh mail interface to emacs).
