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 find the name speculation interesting, but also don't know what to make
of it. I  consider the story a dunsanyian or Clarkashtonian pastiche, and
the god's name recalls to me dunsany's MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI, in having three
parts, and a ooo sound in the last two parts.
