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 response to Alga's revelation of the mastermind in Long Sun):

Aha.  I ruled out Crane because I thought you were speaking more
generally--his -initial- meeting with Silk is "accidental" (as
accidental as anything is--the theme of prophecy*, all true, I'm
beginning to think, runs even stronger in LS than in NS), but after
that he certainly does manipulate things and is behind the political
events.  I can post my version of the evidence for this if anybody
isn't convinced, although I thought that part was common agreement
on the list.

Can I remain a bright young thing five years from now when
I'm STILL a grad student?

* like the prophetic dream in Chap. 4 of Lake that I'd completely
forgotten.
