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.

This is Sean Whalen (prion).

I think that all of Robert Borski's recent genealogical theories are
possible, but I'm slightly worried about Merryn, because Wolfe has
said that she is "probably" Severian's sister.  Hopefully Wolfe will
decide this in the Short Sun books.  By the way, an oread is a
mountain nymph, not a sea nymph.  Other types of Graeco-Roman nymphs,
in case anyone wants to know, are:

Okeanids/Oceanids:  daughters of Okeanos, nymphs of various water
features

Nereids:  daughters of Nereus, nymphs of the Mediterranean Sea

Naiads:  water nymphs

Dryads:  (oak) tree nymphs

Meliai:  nymphs of ash trees
