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.

Somewhere I read Wolfe quoted as saying Severian was an (one of many?) 
aspect of the Outsider.

Dan'l thinks:

>God is outside,in NS; when he incarnates and enters inside, it must change

>one - ours - as the only reality, now with a definite beginning & definite 
>end.

Sounds Buddhist, yes?  They reach their Nirvana by escaping the endless 
reincarnation cycle of birth and death.
