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.

We aren't told whether the Outsider created the universe actively a la
Genesis, or whether it "emanated" from him Gnostic-style.

Crush interjects
Well, we do know that in the Long Sun, the Outsider is the acknowledged
creator of humans (from mud) in the Chrasmological Writings (I think this is
in LS 2). This suggests that Typhon may not be a true Demiurge
Gnostic-style, but a pretender to Demi-urge status - some one who has
kidnapped the Outsider's creations into his Gnostic creation.
