5HC: Shadow Children in the Lupiverse?

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 gather that Tony Ellis has no interest in including the notion that
Sainte Anne/Sainte Croix (or one or the other) constitute Eden, or the
origin point for human beings, such that the waves of "discoverers" from
Earth are in reality returning to a dimly remembered ancestral home.

(Which is fine!  Nobody says you must--I certainly don't say you must.)

I brought it up most recently in Feb 2002:

As far as I can tell it originated with prion, Sean Whalen, in 1998:

And I thought it was pretty neat at the time:
