Mr Million v Oreb

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.

Maybe this is what you mean by "evoked potentials," but I always assumed
that the eye thing was merely a trigger, that the Holy Hues put the brain
into some sort of receptive state so that some sort of electromagnetic
doohicky could read/write to the brain directly, not actually transferring
data through the optic nerve.
