Urth and Whorl mailing lists

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.

Personally I prefer two, as I find that it makes threads=20
easier to follow, but it's not a big issue; I could deal=20
with one big list, if that's what others prefer.

I'd rather not have advertising if it can be avoided, but=20
I'd much rather have advertising than no list at all.  I=20
imagine it won't be too difficult to ignore ads.

Oh yes indeed.

Well, this isn't advice or a suggestion, but I'm very grate-
ful to you for running this list for us, and for keeping it=20
up even in the face of danger and disaster.  Thank you.
