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 reckon:

>"Was a Gross" - with reference to there first sexual encounter or her init=
ial
emergence on earth

i Pretty much agree with this.
She no longer likes him, and is saying he will not get the opportunity to
copulate with her again.

The impression is she has a very child like mentality and is trying to hurt=
 the
president
before he relegates her back to her previous existence (or another)

>"Dhoss bhoyes, de vhun keels de odder. Aw douh nawthing."
>"Those boys, the one kills the other. I do nothing."president,

Have no idea what this is in reference to. I like the idea of Caine and Abe=
l,
but there is nothing to corroberate this idea.

Based on the opinion that she is an incarnation of Eve and the serpent , I =
was
of the opinion that the President became Adam in the other
realm.
If Caine and Abel is right then this is after the original sin, and Adam or
(God) has just found Eve or the serpent guilty of yet another act of
sin.

and that she doesn't like him, and he will no longer

Here's my translation:

"Was a grouse"
           (no that doesn't make sense)
"not like you. I say, you will not ever grunt over me again"
        (reference to the president's sexual relation with copperhead?)
"those boys, the one kills the other. I do nothing"
           (cain and abel reference? why?)

What's with the barking trees and winding ram's horns?

Paul
