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 lean in this interpretive direction also. But The Green Man is a significant alternate name for the pagan
horned god, Great God Pan, etc. Is Wolfe suggesting this is the ultimate and true, unified god of Briah? Or
of all universes, including ours?

If the latter it might cause the Pope an uncomfortable turn or two at night....should I start my "Wolfe as
Heretic" thread again?
