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.

The whole point of Catholic Fabulation is this.

"One thinks in one mood, for example, of fairies, elves and goblins - and in
quite another of Mr Wells' Selenites or his  Martians.  But whenever one is
forced to recognise a creature in either class as *real*, the distinction
becomes blurred.   And in the case of the eldils, it vanishes altogether .

C S Lewis, quoted very inaccurately, from PERELANDRA
