Sev's common lineage

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.

There is another level of clues in the play that I take as direct hints 
from Wolfe to the reader. Saint's names with significant history are of 
this type IMOP. I looked up the name Carina in more detail:

St. Melasippus
Martyr with Carina, his wife, and Anthony, their son. They suffered at 
Ancyra. Melasippus and Carina died under torture. Anthony was beheaded.

So St. Carina was a mother, and her son is associated with decapitation. 
That's another good Catherine hint.
