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.

When Moses was a baby in Pharaoh's court, he was offered the choice of a gold bowl
vs. a bowl of hot coals to see if he was a danger to the throne. An angel guided
his hand to the hot coals and he ended up burning his tongue and receiving a life-long
speech impediment as a result.

Seems like there must be a connection to these stories.
