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.

At the link, above I detailed certain connections between inhumi and angels.
Keep in mind that I've barely touched these articles since before reading 
"The Book of the Short Sun". As soon as I manage to reconnect with the site 
admin, I'll try to correct/edit them.
Mind you, just because WR and the inhumi are both associated with angels 
does not make WR an alien posing as or replacing a human. However, given all 
the similarities between inhumi and Annese, it shouldn't be ignored either.
