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.

To be more precise, chota is "short." A chota peg is whiskey served in a
short glass, with less or none of that nasty delibilitating (boiled) water
or soda from a syphon that you'd get in a tall glass.
