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.

Father Inire echoes "The Book of Imaginary Beings" section 
on fauna of mirrors.

Borges has:
"the Fish was a shifting and shining creature that nobody had 
ever caught but that many said they had glimpsed in the depths of 
mirrors...The first to awaken will be the Fish. Deep in the mirror we 
will perceive a very faint line and the color of this line will be like 
no other color."
