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.

There's some argument about what it means. The majority believe that
it comes from a misreading of Exodus, as I indicated previously;
however there is a group who believe that the horns on Moses' head
were Michelangelo's attempt to depict "radiant" in stone, which, if
so, obviously didn't work out so well.

Moses bound to/under a rock? Where's this?

Suddenly I have a glimpse of an interpretive schema in which Typhon is
actually the real hero of the Solar cycle...
