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.

Sorry, didn't make that clear. I think that Sev1 did not bring the 
New Sun. If there was still a possibility that he might have for 
some time, it indeed went poof with SilkHorn's visit, if not 
before.

Urth presumably dies the ice death, but so what? No mega-deaths, 
and at least one human world probably flourishing - Blue - if not 
Green & others as well.
