some random thoughts: gematria, Forlesen, seal of Pas

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.

Not the only oily thing though - oil spots under his car, etc. "He tasted
the egg.  It was good but slightly oily, as though a drop of motor oil had
found its way into the grease in which she had fried it."  Lots of oil
everywhere.
