UotNS and how it screws with your head

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.

No; what we know is that its _effects_ were first noticed during his
reign. That it was created or arrived at that time is a (debatable)
conclusion. It can reasonably be argued that it would take at least
thousands of years for its effects to be noticeable -- unless it was
such a huge honkin' black hole that it would cause the Sun to collapse
into itself.

Or none. I think it's suggested strongly that the two time flows are
unrelated, though I'd be hard pressed to find the citation right now.
