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.

Jives pretty well with my idea of what Latro is (ahura mazda incognito, learning to shun war in a trial run full of human suffering which will lead to the shifting from pagan gods to Christian monotheism as the pagan gods are reconciled to a new divine order)

I just encountered a new word---that is, a word that's new to me. Not, 
I'm sure, to this forum. The Greek root is only part of it, though its 
similarity to "Latro" is new to me too.

I'll just quote from the Wiki and let people draw their own conclusions 
about Latro's name in the context of Wolfe's theories about gods and God.

*Monolatrism or monolatry* (Greek: ????? (monos) = single, and ??????? 
(latreia) = worship) is the recognition of the existence of many gods, 
but with the consistent worship of only one deity.

An example given is Akhenaten's heresy, Atenism.
