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.

He does sound like an Archon of sorts, more gnostic than satanic. The 
Astras seem to be angels with legalistic powers limited to the earthly 
sphere and linked with stars.

Naming Hethor for an Astra seated during Jesus's life does make him sort 
of a Herod/Pilate figure. Hethor would certainly have enjoyed the 
crucifixion!
