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.

	Urk - I wasn't clear enough in what I said - I meant it as a
metaphorical similarity. I agree that the Commonwealth is most likely
in South America, though I don't know the area well enough to say
which city is the most likely candidate.
