do the Hierogrammates care about the megatherians?

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.

Are you winding me up, Antonio?
Almost all of Part II and all of Part III are lifted out of The Jungle 
Book and has zero relation to the life Romulus.
Part IV has parallels to the life of Romulus, but it is it's own story.
If this is a joke, now is the time to say something.
