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.

Not in "historical time". Plutarch related the story of the annunciation 
of the death of Pas around 70BC.

Other than the phallus, the parts aren't specified. I don't think it is 
as literal as that. Pas is a software entity. The point is that there 
are incomplete elements of him scattered about.
