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.

Wolfe is exploring concepts such as the Incarnation of Christ.
When Jesus was a baby you don't suppose he sat around preaching about 
the mysteries of Heaven, do you?
When his father was teaching him a trade, he wasn't just pretending to 
learn, right?
This is about the merging of the finite and the Infinite.
