Gratuitous: 1) I did send other messages after this one that also attempted to destroy scshunt's rests. At the time I sent the second message (in which I forwarded the original to the backup forum), I was aware that this might cause multiple rest destructions, but this was more of a "best of two bad alternatives" scenario, and does not affect the fact that I was unaware at the time of the original message. The third message was sent this week as a different action, and is basically irrelevant. 2) I sent the original quoted message at the time shown in its Date: header. After that, Gmail probably attempted to resend it until it went through, but that is out of my control.
