Catherine the thief, adrift in time

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.

Okay, rather than consign you all to the mad house mayby I should first ask
how much of this discussion depends on information from the LEXICON URTHUS
which I have not read?

I can see the lovely lines being drawn here for the various relationships of
the characters, but I can't relate what's being suggested to TBotNS & TUotN=
S -
what am I missing?
