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.

alga,

Ah, my mistake--which is why I will henceforth stick to my guns and
not allow =3Dany=3D first train questioneers until the mad dash in real time
at the last second as determined by myself and my whim.

What the hey--it is Wednesday already.  And I wanna send it out on
Friday morning.  Okay, we'll throw open the cattle car doors for
Thursday, 26 Jun 1997, GMT.  And the first one at 00:02:42 is alga,
with her question re: what she just said.

OKAY everybody, only eight (8) more seats left on this train!  And
only 23 odd hours left to fill 'em!

=3Dmantis=3D

P.S. I guess this means Wesley Parsons might not make it in time, re:
his automated reply to alga's message.
