Wombat's Wolfe Seminar

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.

Which makes me think it might come out more like "Family Feuuud": "Survey
says . . . BOOK OF THE NEW SUN	is a good read!" <g>

But that would be fine on two counts: it would still do the job; it would
reflect the family feud nature of the discussions.<g>
