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.

Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Another casual observation: has anyone else perceived
a close resemblance between the Soldo/Blanko war and
the Korean War, in which Wolfe of course participated?
Authoritarian North versus democratic (?) South;
Typhon imitator Rigoglio and Stalin imitator Kim Il
Sung; protagonist is an outsider who intervenes in
said war, like a GI...
