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.

The more Wolfe I read, the more I wonder if "Gene Wolfe" isn't another
one of his unreliable narrators...

Though I agree on this one. I suppose it's natural for a Christian to
take on some of the attributes of Christ. Wolfe loves stories of
imitators coming to resemble the imitated. Of course, Sev isn't
intentionally imitating Christ... It's unconscious on his part and
conscious on Wolfe's?
