Pas's gammadion and the voided cross

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.

gammas, if you don't mind the arms of the cross being open at the ends."

Yeah, this is the conclusion I came to belatedly.

"Now unfold each gamma, one northward, pivoting around its
northernmost point, one eastward, one southward, one westward. You've
got something that looks like a manji or a swastika."

Ah, *now* I get it!  Talk about an epiphany!  Thanks bunches!
