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.

I still think them pretending to be human in their mating ritual is just ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny.  Even though the inhumi are a debased branch (heh heh) that cannot maintain sentience without original humans, they  are still a vestigial remnant of people; just divergent evolution.
