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.

When you come right down to it.

Isn't what the Hiero-Foos are doing,
the same thing Mr. Million/Maitre/Number 5 do,
only on a cosmic scale?

Rather than warping their own children to ensure their own repetition
they are warping entire cosmic cycles to do so.

If what the Line of Millions do in "Cerberus" is wrong,
then what the Hiero-Foos do is insanely wrong.

I once absend-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a
restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand
Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce. -- T. Pratchett
