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.

Well, my question about bickering of the gods is, where is the God of
the Israelites?  We seem to have carefully circled around there.  I'm a
bit vague as to what is going on Biblically around this period.  I was
wondering about Lions and B. as Solomon and Sheba but a few hundred years 
out ;)
