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.

In the tenth year of his autarchy, in the chapter called "Ressurection,"
Severian writes, "old, twisted Father Inire, alive so long beyond the span =
of
his short-lived kind." After ten years of working with Inire and the noble
Hierodules O,B&F, I'm sure Severian knew what he was talking about, and that
the Hierodules truly live merely a score of years.
