the text stands alone - especially typos

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 wrote, quoting OWB:

Eek!  That's what I get for typing with my eyes closed!

Take out:=20

>        tge fiit if the mast and linked her arm in mine.

Substitute:

>        the foot if the mast and linked her arm in mine.

There were some other typos too, but that was the worst.  Besides, I
felt the need to rub Borski's nose in that passage again, since he
hasn't yet addressed it :-)
