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.

Thanks for this one, though it rekindled my suspicions
of a Qabalistic significance in 5HOC.

Will I never finish with that book?

To cut a long story short, I believe GW used the tree
of life for the family tree allowing him to
effectively create a literary Aleph (a la Borges).
