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.

         Surely you don't still maintain this? If so, you should take up=20
the arguments presented against it. Also, since you now say the other=20
mainframe gods are neighbors, what about the very human pre-adolescent Scyl=

         But Pig clearly "sees" that the Narrator is Silk, so how can he=20
think he killed Silk? I just don't think this works.
