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.

But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say 
to its molder, ?Why have you made me like this?? Has the potter no right 
over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use 
and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his 
wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience 
vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the 
riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared 
beforehand for glory? even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only 
but also from the Gentiles?
~ Romans 9:20-24

Fortunately, though, Wolfe is the true Increate of Urth, and no one 
actually went to Hell in the making of this Ushas.
