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.

Interesting. Satanism is fine with me---Blake was a Satanist, in the 
only meaningful sense. The other kind of satanism, popularized by the 
media, is just hippie orgiasty punctuated by drug overdose and 
unmedicated mental illness.

Now, what about Cthulhuism? THERE's the real test!
