Corundum of the Claw

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.

Anyway, I read BOTNS/UOTNS as containing zero evidence that Sev is acting
for God, and only comprehensible as a tragedy - but appreciate that I'm in a
minority with that!
