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.

No. It's only in the novel. It's when Jack looks at the sun shining in 
the windows of the hotel and has an epiphany that everything his son has 
been saying about the place is true. It's a personality. A menacing 
personality.
He compares it to when he was a kid in Sunday School and the teacher 
showed them a picture that was all ink splotches and said there was a 
picture of Jesus in it (I've seen these, but I can't find an example of 
what I saw on the web). All the other kids said they saw it and Jack was 
so angry because he couldn't. He told himself they were pretending. They 
were just CLAIMING to see it because the teacher said it was there. So 
he stayed after and stared at the picture for long time but only saw ink 
splotches. Then suddenly he saw it, and he couldn't see anything else.
