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.

Well, now I have my reading set forth for me for the next month or so.

I have to reread the first two books, the third, and then the forth.=20

By the way, there is a possible half-assed justification for Lamarck based
upon Gary Wills "Wisdom of the Genes," but that is very off-topic.
