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.

Has anyone read Peter Wright's Attending Daedalus?  The scholarly language 
makes me fear I miss the point.  I think he is saying that BotNS story is 
really about a political power struggle between two powerful and not very 
nice groups manipulating Severian, the overall philosphy being to address 
issues like colonization and imperialism and such.  Any other thoughts on 
this?
