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 seems that there can be multiple gods on every
level except the highest and the lowest.  I find 
Wolfe's scheme confusing, I must admit.  Kulilli is
the original inhabitant of Aelfrice.  Why isn't she
worshipped by the dragons of Muspel?  Nor does it seem
that the Most Low God worships the dragons.  And
though the Angrborne live on Mythgarthr, they are not
worshipped by the Aelf.  I wonder if descent from Angr
has anything to do with who is and isn't a proper
object of worship.
