The problem of Cthulhu

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'm sorry, but every time I read the subject line "The problem of
Cthulhu" I think of the famous song from that classic musical.

    How do you solve a problem like Cthulhu?
    How do you catch a shoggoth and pin it down?
    How do you find a word that means Cthulhu?
    A gibbering figment!  Ia ia fthagn!
