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.

Fair enough.
it's just an idle observation.
but I'm not sure it's an "extra" sephiroth. I've seen literature that compares that position on the tree to the Hidden Imam and to Christ (in the awaiting the second coming sense).  That being said, I don't stand behind this idea as having much merit. just tossing it out there, if anything, in a poetical sense.  I don't expect symbolism to pass physics tests.
