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've read most of them, a long time ago.  I subsequently
learnt a bit of anthropology, linguistics and history,
all making me doubt the background element of matriarchy
replaced by patriarchy.  And I only ever saw the "bln..."
alphabetic order in his works ("Beth Luis Nion"), until=20
just now, when an altavista search shows them being used
by neo-pagans.

But could he write!  Like Orwell, his work was once famous
and is now undeservedly obscure.
