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.

Palestine is not far from Egypt (and it is real, real close to Sidon).
Palestine under Persian rule is more peaceful than it has been before or
since. The second Temple is an operating reality. Do you think he might
find a more benevolent God in Jerusalem?
