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.

Some versions say Lilith and Adam's mating produced the monstrous 
offspring. Others say they resulted from Lilith mating with demons after 
Adam rejected her. Either way my basic premise is sustained, that Wolfe
is presenting humanity as corrupted by matings with aliens, as a more
modern scientific explanation for the legends of pre-christian societies.

(in the James Jordan interview Wolfe states he believes the gods etc.
of legend were based on real entities, not imaginary.)
