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.

Well, I'm presuming she can read. And if she can't read, there are stories,
an oral tradition. How do we know of Hercules or Hecuba?

And the subject originally related to whether Severian is a Christian. Care
to offer your proof that he is? Suckah?
