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 thought of the Ymar story right after posting the message - one 
of those nice little flashes which can fool you into thinking that 
what you've said actually makes sense :)

Triskele *looked* dead but Sev doesn't say that he actually was 
dead. He doesn't seem to have any of the vagueness resurrected 
humans seem to experience. 

On a different note, I think Sev's little episodes where he thinks 
he might be insane could point to key Sev1/Sev2 divergences. 
Something to look out for on my next trawl through NS ...
