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.

Which conclusion? There was the part about the island's secrets being
traced back to an eternal fraternal conflict between Jacob and his
"nameless" brother (given that the writers are jewish I think we can
conclude the name was "Esau" and the Jew-Muslim enmity is being referenced).

And there was the final conclusion seeming to suggest the whole series was
the dying dream of a plane crash victim, fabricated from glimpses of his
fellow passengers and his own life.

I think those two conclusions were planned from the beginning. Some of the 
rest was contradictory, resulting from some silly plot extensions they came
up with in the final two seasons.
