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.

Rather Hellenic or Nordic than Middle Eastern, I think.

The enfolding of the impulse to address the divine (which Silk feels and
expresses in his *false* religion) by the real divinity of the Outsider
mirrors the "baptising" of european native pantheism by invading
monotheistic Christianity
