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.

Counterargument: At first Morgoth cooperates with the Valar in the work
of building up Ea, then he feigns cooperation, and finally rebels. I suggest
that the decline was present from the beginning, but that at first it was 
only in Morgoth's heart.
