DOORS: time flow datapoints

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.

It's interesting that nomos is one of the words that Lovecraft combined to
form "necronomicon,"  the meaning of which Gold discusses in Peace. =20
I discovered a website discussing the etymology of necronomicon
(isn't google amazing?) .

One of the translations offered is "The Management of the Dead," which=20
concurs with Gold's "The Book that Binds the Dead." =20

Another (which the website rejects as inaccurate) is "The Book of Dead=20
Lawyers."
