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.

Actually, it's called the country of *sliding* stones, unless my copy
of 5HoC has a typo. Which doesn't have quite the same connotations,
nor map as easily to the 'shifting' of the sleeping place.

No, very much the opposite. The Old Wise One is confused to begin
with, because then it is mostly composed of the thoughts of shadow
children, who are egotistical, delusional little stoners. When the
ratio goes down to 1:1 he's clear-headed and remembers that "we were
always here."
