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.

Wellll, as I said, I sort of come from a mid-'70s headset about
all this stuff. Been there, wrote the story, sold it to Forry.=20

Howzabout "Journeyman Torturer Mary Sue?" Smarter than=20
Severian, prettier than Barbatus, stronger than Baldanders,
gets to torture them all...
