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 take that "rise in the last days to take the world" bit with a grain of 
salt; it seems more like a bit of standard mythology crusted on to whatever 
the original story was. The big bad nasties *always* rise in the last days 
to contend for dominion over the world. And any self-respecting 
big-bad-nasty will make sure everyone fears that, one of these days, it will 
be back...
