Increate on trial

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.

I think it's a bit more than "a tradition." It's based pretty solidly on this
bit of Scripture (from 1 Peter 3; it bridges from vv18b through 20a):

     He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 
     through whom[d] also he went and preached to the spirits in 
     prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently 
     in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.
