Borskis (sp?) 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.

Is that really Borski's theory? I don't recall him mentioning that in Solar 
Labyrinth, although Wright did put forward that sort of theory (in Attending 
Daedelus).

Either way, no. I think it is implausible, on the one hand, and on the other 
I think it turns the BotNS into a sort of un-Wolfean story.
