Terminus Est

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.

"This is the End" - you know, like the Doors' song, the one with the 
killing and the incest and the masked executioner with the special blue 
rock and the ancient buildings and the lake and the giant serpent?
