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.

I brought it up a couple of months ago, along with some additional 
twists. Here is my reference:
http://lists.urth.net/htdig.cgi/urth-urth.net/2008-October/010311.html

In brief, my theory is that:
1) Gid's biological father is a Woldercan native.
2) His father is a "walker of dreams" (wizard) who inspired Lovecraft's 
tales of Randolph Carter.
3) Working from arcane knowledge he possessed, Robert Chase worked with 
Chuck Finney to get Woldercan discovered. Finney is a descendant of the 
man who wrote "The Circus of Dr. Lao" and may have had some secret notes 
from the time his forefather met that alien being.
4) Robert Chase probably had his wife impregnated by a Woldercan 
deliberately, in order to produce a powerful child.
5) Robert Chase trained his son in Earth arcana.
