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.

I say we do, and we should. People who haven't read it should simply
avoid the whorl list for the moment. That's the way we did it before,
and it worked fine. I also really object to long "spoiler space"--among
other annoyances, it hogs archive room.

I know that plant that folds its leaves--I had thought one of its
nicknames was "shy" plant, but that's not in Wyman--I'll keep a look out
in the spring catalogs and post if I find it.
