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.

Because at 1:1 (and surrounded also by many indigenes) "we" for the Group 
Norm means mostly indigenes.  Before, it did not.

The Shadow Children are egotistical, but not to my mind delusional in the 
ordinary sense.  All our knowledge comes from them.

If you don't believe the information we get from them, how do you interpret 
the history of Saint Anne?
