Sea Wrack

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.

Also happens to be the name of one of the taverns on Rime Isle in the  
sixth and seventh Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser books.

And the sixth book is about the incursion of Loki and Odin into  
Newhon, and Fafhrd as a kind of avatar of Odin.

Silk, one might say, is also an avatar of Odin, what with the raven  
and the eyepatch and all.

I do not yet have a coherent thesis.  Maybe there isn't one here.
