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.

Sure they are. That is, they are of Faerie, as much as they can be while still being aliens on an alien planet. They're green, aren't they? 

Gods, fairies, same thing when it comes to the most ancient tales. It's about otherworldliness. Wolfe seems to see connections, not distinctions, when he writes in the fantastic or mythic mode.

I've got to third this.
my text matches Roy's correction.
it really notches the idea down.
Even that a Stag can be a god (is that right) doesn't really jibe because teh neighbors are not gods.
