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.

David Langford,

Hello there and a hearty welcome aboard!

Thank you for the cant terms--I'll put up another wanted list after
I've exhausted the OED (ha! OED is never exhausted: mantis loses
patience and eyesight).

Interesting tip re: Schmitz's "Novice."  I'm not (yet) familiar with
the story.  Re: Tick talk, vizcacha made a listing (it should be in
the archives) of Tick's words and phrases just so that we could all
agree on something. <g>
