Academic commentary

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.

I can't find it---it wasn't Stockton. The one I'm thinking of actually 
concerns how the Devil became Pope, or made a wizard Pope, simply by 
being a practicing necromancer and acting in as depraved a manner as 
possible. The Cardinals were jealous and tried to kill him by black 
magic, but there were several twists. Damned if I can remember who wrote it!

Probably not the one James is thinking of.
