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.

Much like Cthulhu's.   They have half-human submarine servitors; they 
control dreams; they will rise in the last days to take the world.   But 
more to the point they control much of the Urth's surface through their 
enslaved human servants. 

They are not exactly GOO's but then Cthulhu was small beans compared to 
chappies like YogSothoth or Azathoth.
