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.

Ah, yes. I stand corrected. Only human citizens of the Commonwealth are 
named after saints.

>Later, the crew and cargo of the Whorl will not have saint names.

My own small correction here: the hypernaut sleepers still retain their 
saintly names; e.g., Mamelta and Roger.
