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.

Just a thot. Does it work?
	Erebus, Abaia, Scylla, Arioch: four monsters. Compare Daniel 7, the four
monsters defeated by the "one like a Son of Man" who "ascends to the
Ancient of Days" and receives a kingdom. Does this look just a bit like the
narrative of Urth of NS?=20
	Also, if Erebus is south (Antarctic) and Abaia is north (tropics), then
Scylla is west (being the name of the entrance to the Medit. Sea on the
west), and Arioch is east (being the name of one of Nebuchadnezzar's
Babylonian courtiers).
	Qommints?
