Is Borskis (sp?) Theory Wright?

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.

I've always liked this theory, and think it stands at
least as well as some of the others proposed and
discussed on the board.

The response below is very typical. Many of the more
invested fans of GW simply don't *like* this line of
interpretation. A tale from GW where religion is the
wool that has been pulled over the eyes of humanity is
not to be contenanced, apparently.  :-)
