lots of stuff

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.

They won't do it for the Autarch - he may be externally referred to by name, but not generally, I think - and they won't do it for the Autarch's vizier.

Maybe FI is actually a permutation of another word/phrase...

Father in Ire
Inherit Fear
Fire in Earth
Fainter Heir
In Their Fear

I dunno. Just a thought?
