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.

No, Alex. And since I think of you and Adam as the two bright young
things of the list, and since you've both got a month or so to wait
until you get your grubby little paws on IGJ, I will set you the
assignment to prove me wrong.

The "action" of LS, the populist political movement that eventually
catapults Silk into the Calde's seat, and saddles him with Hy, as well,
was masterminded and manipulated by--until circumstances decreed
otherwise:

ready?

Dr. Crane

for reasons that you two can either figure out or repudiate.
