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.

Nessus? I can be mistaken, but I think you mean the
river Gyoll (is this the correct spelling?). This
could be a Christian paralel, anyway: not with the
resurrection of Christ -- wich, anyway, marks the end
of Jesus's "career" on Earth --, but the Baptism by John.
