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.

Well, in priniciple I agree. But why should the Vanished People be the ultimate

goal for humanity? They are hairy (like goats?) and tribal and have that weird 

indeterminacy like Shadow Children. They have dreamtime like Australian aborigines

(and Shadow Children). And giant sea gods live in the oceans of their world.

Surely the most noble of noble savage tribes is still a spiritual step below that

of Christians in a book by a Christian author. Shouldn't there be a Christ sometime

in the future of Briah. Would Wolfe really have created a universe in which there is

eternally no hope for true salvation?
