5HC : Strong men weep and women faint.

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.

In a moebius loop, you must go through 720 degrees to return from
whence uou began, because one loop is 360 degrees, and you are flipped
on the first loop, it takes a second.  So the last degree is located
precisely 719 degrees from the begining degree. There is a fake
ending, when you reach 359 degrees, a tonic which fools you perhaps
but doesn't return you to the key you began in (read 'Godel Escher
Bach:...' if that makes no sense to you.).  What makes you so sure you
found the home key, the skeleton key, teh real solution?
