Train Go Bye-Bye

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.

Attention!  Attention!

The train has left the station.  Last onboard was alga, overloaded
with boxes--I won't say yet which one managed to stay with her. <g>

The train, rated for a dozen, is dangerously overloaded with fifteen.
(We don't want to overburden the author!)  Thrills, chills . . .
spills?

Please save or refine your remaining questions.  We have a few weeks
to wait--plenty of time.

So please return to your previous threads, topics, and obsessions.
Thank you.

That is all.
