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.

He could leave at any time via the mirrors, or take a vacation of most 
any length via the Atrium or the Botanic Gardens. Severian thinks he has 
taken the post voluntarily: "We know your master is what the people call 
a cacogen, and that for whatever reason, he is one of those few who have 
chosen to cast their lots entirely with humanity, remaining on Urth as a 
human being." Citadel, XXXV
