Inire as a hierodule

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.

Right--I think there's a deliberate mystery as to by what means Inire, the
hierodule, extends his lifespan (someone has proposed that Inire's lifespan
is actually normal, but that he makes extensive use of time travel to only
catch the "good parts" of history).  But we're supposed to understand that
he's a hierodule.
