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.

Thanks, but your view sounds more like Mormonism and certain other
theologies than what Wolfe himself would believe. No need to debate the
theology one way or another here. It's just a matter of what Wolfe as a
conservative Catholic would be working with.
