AEG: More Theology

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.

Note that "The Dunwich Horror," one of the finest HPL tales (S.T.  
Joshi, usually quite good, totally misses the mark here; Ken Hite  
nails it in his "Tour de Lovecraft"), is something of a reprise of a  
well-known story about the offspring of (a) God and a human woman.
