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.

Yes, and I believe the the pagan gods in the SOLDIER books are intended to
be literally that, as Wolfe has professed his belief in the existence of
lesser gods like those recorded as inferior rivals of the Old Testament
God.
