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, Lee, at the risk of sounding condescending, which is not true, I'd 
like to congratulate you on the way you've presented your Gestaltver?nderung 
(pun intended) case.

But I keep waiting for you to develop your FI theory. I haven't (I think) 
written anything on this thread yet because I'm yet to understand where 
you're going. So I suggest you spend less time answering questions and more 
presenting your idea.

Iirc so far you've pointed out that:

- FI is an alien. We knew that already, that's what hieorodules are. Though 
maybe you mean an unconstructed alien, which would take us to the earliest 
presentation in the text. Or maybe you intend to show he's nto an alien at 
all. Well, tell you what - for all I know, FI is *not* a hierodule. Why? 
Because we're told he is one, and then we're told how he's so past the 
normal life span of his race. To me, that sounds almost like a monty python 
sketch. Or like "the inquest declared she had taken her life / but why would 
she use the butcherman's knife?".

- Vodalus is cheap in almost every possible way. I think I even once asked 
if someone else got the impression he wasn't the brightest candle in the 
box. Though maybe you're about to turn that interpretation on its head. 
Either way, I suppose you only brought Vodalus about as a comparison prop.

- FI + Autarchy + Vodalus is a cheap imitation of God + City of God + Devil. 
I don't know, I'd like a bit more of meat on this one.

So what's next?
