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.

> Is there a link to "pastor"? Typhon-Pas does lead his flock off Urth. 

>Well, "Typhon *drives* his flock off of Urth" is more accurate I think. 
He also drives them off the Whorl.

He drives them off the Whorl using heat and drought. This was a big part
of my suggestion that the name Pas is derived from the Babylonian god/demon
Pazuzu as he and his Egyptian cognate, Typhon-Set, were gods of hot, dry 
desert storms, drought, crop failure etc. Pazuzu had a bird head and the
bird theme is quite prevalent in Long Sun.

But now that the connection between Inire and Pan/Pas has come to light I
am forced to reconsider the truth of the Typhon/Pan connection more strongly.
