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.

Heh. Yep and great example Jordon as Gilgamesh is almost certainly an example of
what the Hebrews would call Nephilim. A giant demon-spawn serving as a hero to
foreigners.

(anthropologically, it makes perfect sense for the Hebrews to demonize foreigners
mating with their women. The jews have a long history of maintaining their cultural
integrity by discouraging out-breeding)
