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.

There are some possibilities.  Maybe Blue is where Abia's 'race' is from?
I've always assumed Abia came to Urth at some point.  Must have come from
somewhere, no?

And I am against the theory of Ushas as Blue, you know from our
discussions.  However, there are so many resonances between the two worlds
(some of which you point out), that I think we are being directed to the
idea that what happened on Urth/Ushas happened on Blue as well.  Perhaps
there was a "severian" equivelant on Blue.  One of the Neighbors.  And we
have the Abia analogue, just like Urth.  There is more to this, which until
I finish on this read through of SS I don't want to lay out, but I think the
multi-limbed beings and what not are a clue to this.

And I can't get with the idea that Horn is a Neighbor.  Doesn't make a lick
of sense to me, thematically or contextually.
