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'm not sure where you fall on the 'hierodules' argument, but hopefully, you
are not one to see them as "insect beings" who have no divinity or
legitimate connection with divinity.  Otherwise, it seems like it would be
hard to make the case for the Neighbors having that quality and not the
Hierodules....
