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.

Anybody have a problem with:

1. Dwarves on the shoulders of BLIND giants?

2. shock cavalry made up of women riding arsinothers (iirc)?

2a. Cavalry in the New Sun is ostensibly super fast genetically engineered
horses that can run 100mph. This is to counteract the high Rate of Fire of
the pyrotechnic weaponry. The arsinothers are not genetically engineered
to be super fast (are they?) so how do they avoid getting roasted?
