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.

< Has there been any discussion on the list (sorry, I'm new and haven't had
time to exhaustively browse the archives) of similarities between Severian =
and
Claudius, both the historical emperor and the charming narrator of the two
Robert Graves novels?>

The point that comes to mind first is that both Claudius and Severian plan =
to
write a manuscript they believe no one will read and get rid of it in a lead
coffer.
