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.

Patrick is so right about our bending ourselves into knots---for instance,
I also knew the answer to my question (about Auk/Tartaros kidnapping
Hy)---I just wanted to make sure, I guess.

But...Pike's ghost? Aaaargh! He never answered the artful codicil...who or
what is it?
This is a true mystery.

So, the Wolfe wants no more fleas nipping at his hide! Thank you, mantis,
for engineering/conducting the last circus.
