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.

Although I think we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop and
reveal what all the Scylla foreshadowing in Short Sun so far is about.
But if it turns out to be Oreb, I'll be (right now I think)
unpleasantly surprised.
