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.

	Interesting. In Dante, Satan is in a block of ice at the center of the
earth. Hell is frozen. Make Erebus a Satan-figure then. Does Satan want
humanity annihilated, or does he want them to worship him? The latter.
Perhaps that's why Erebus and his minions oppose any New Sun.
