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.

I hear you, Marc, and feel your pain. I consider the literal solution to be a 
possibility and I hope you'll find resolution at some point. What I meant in 
the last post is the irony that I am not religious yet I find religious 
significance to the metaphor you reject but which would provide you the 
salvation you seek.

FWIW and to anyone who is not Marc reading this thread I'll sum up by mentioning
what I think are the similarities of Blue to Ushas: 

1. Flooded world with sunken ruins 
2. No large continents but instead smaller, separated islands (we only see one
   on Ushas though)
3. Yellow sun, temperate climate
4. Populated by refugees from a spaceship
5. Elevation and worship of gods co-opted from a previous world
6. Presence of mermaids (and demons?)
