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.

OK, here's my question for Gene:

In Horn's "Defence", he writes: "Fewer than I have expected have found
fault with Silk's assertion that [Mint] took her warlike character from the
Goddess of Love, although it seems implausible to me." What did cause the
change in Mint's character?

No matter what other nations may say about the United States,
immigration is still the sincerest form of flattery.
