Ansible Interview

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.

I didin't receive anything posted on the list since noon until just now. I 
sent Jordan some pictures that are apparently in line with the Whorl as 
Matthew envisioned it. But now I see that (I think) he has at last conceded 
that shaded areas are possible in the Whorl and that they are widely 
viewable.

As for Stanislaw's description, I'm not sure I understand how Silk's 
conversation with Auk fits with it (as I understand it):
"Does the sun ever go out, Auk? Does it ever wink out as you or I might 
snuff out a lamp?"
<snip>
"I guess it don't. You couldn't see them skylands up there nightside, if it 
did."

This exchange seems to suggest that during Nightside, Auk sees darkness 
looking East and West, but only sees the skylands lit.
