Whorl Name and a theory...

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.

Strictly speaking, I believe the only other name we're given for the
Outsider is Allah.=20

I was interested to discover Pausinas's description of altars to "the
unknown gods" in his tourbook of 2nd-century c.e. Greece--obviously a major
source for Wolfe.
