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.

	This I've heard of, but it is not specifically mentioned in the story,
and it would contradict the dependency the abos have on their physical
bodies. "A Story" has ghosts and the Wise Old One, but they are
ultimately dependent on abos with physical, living bodies for influence.=20

	But doesn't Jinas travel confound this process of catclysmic
refinement? It lets the old, unimproved races escape their purification
by traveling to other planets, where they endure to late mingle with and
contaminate the successive civilizations' "higher virtues."
