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.

Another interpretation is that "Heirodules" is a grandiose term for 
"robots created by the Heiro race". That the Heirogrammates made and 
used robots is not necessarily sinful. Kindly, devout missionaries 
employ water purifiers. What if the purifiers eventually became so 
sophisticated that they were _apparently_ self-aware? What if they were 
sophisticated enough to use extra-dimensional technology to improvise 
based on their self-propagation programming to ensure the invention of 
water purifiers everywhere?
