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.

Well, my prayer to mainframe in my last message was granted, I am once=20
again receiving. Thank you. Now, what about that Urth mailing list? I=20
haven't heard anything from it yet, and I subscribed soon after it went=20
up.
Mantis,
I just received your response to my initial questions. I like your=20
Pike-Quetzal explanation. It follows pretty closely with what I had been=20
thinking. Although I didn't mean to imply that what Silk saw was an=20
"actual" ghost, I'm not sure of what it was. I'm warm to the aquastor=20
theory, but not sold on it, unless what mainframe produces for people to=20
see their deceased loved ones are aquastors.  That would make it more=20
likely, at least to me.
Thanks for the response, and I'm anxiously awaiting my copy of your Q&D=20
Guide!
