Are the Neighbors REALLY the Neighbors?

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.

> Finally, Alexander, Midas, and Dionysus all have horns.

Dan'l Danehy-Oakes- Which also reminds me that Michelangelo famously depicted Moses with horns.

Oh sheesh, I hadn't heard of that. I wonder if Wolfe made the horned connection to Moses 
(correct or not) with the possible Dionysian/Father Inire iteration Isangoma being associated
with the Mosaic Mt. Nebo.

Was a horned Moses a way of Michelangelo saying the jews have been made scapegoats?

The origin of that term seems to have come from the goat-associated fallen angel Azazel.

Prometheus, Azazel, Moses, Fenrir all seem to be mythological guys who received blame and were 
punished by being bound to (or under) a rock. I guess Typhon also fits that category. Hints of
all these guys seem to peek from behind the bushes of BotNS.
