AEG: a Wolder on Earth

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.

Catching up with the list now I have read AEG.  His "bad heart" is pretty 
obviously not physical.  I thought it likely that he was a changeling, viz 
the description of incipient followers of Mr Squid.  And I presume his 
mother (who is wealthy) might well own "a thousand million" and a yacht. 
She must have been the Ambassadress that lived with BR on Woldercan.  And 
Shirley Bench knew an awful lot about her and Rian, including the fact 
that he was too brave.

Cheers, David Duffy.
