Universes inside a black hole

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.

Well, I'm glad to see that distinction made - certainly didn't want  
to imply that I thought the LDS reader deficient in some manner  
relating to their ability to contribute here.  I only wanted to  
challenge the idea that they have some real esoteric knowledge of the  
ultimate nature of reality.  It's my contention they don't, and I'm  
skeptical of other claims to 'secret knowledge'.  I don't have a  
special condemnation of the Mormons except for the fact that my  
father's family were pushcart pioneers.

My yap is shut.

Steve
