Pathos for Latros (Son of Witz)

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.

happy to help. it's a hot day.

I really love these Latro books. I don't mind feeling lost in the plot.
Latro is lost too.

I haven't heard anything about more of them, though I don't suppose I
would. It must take a lot of research to write these.  I don't know how
Sidon ends. One wants Latro to get his memory, but that might thwart the
very point. Still, one wants him to find peace.
