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.

Got the book today and brought it home. And hid it from my houseguest!
Whoa--that cover! An amalgam of Ben Franklin and Joe Lieberman takes a
stroll with an octopoidal Highwayman! No, I couldn't face the (at best)
politely raised eyebrows or (worse) outright snickering that would have
been my lot had this been openly displayed!
