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.

I'm assuming this is the episode that ends up in Urth
of the New Sun? If so, then this is important because
the assassin clearly singles out Severian to die and I
believe the consensus was that he was sent to kill
Sev. As many of you know, I believe that Severian and
Ymar are essentially the same person. This just
increases my belief in that theory.
