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 think that, for a universe apparently without a Christ, Pan is as 
close to the true religion as one can get.

Since the Pope is lucky enough to live in OUR universe, he can sleep 
soundly.
