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.

Well, I don't know that there is any way to prove such a thing, certainly not to 
those who don't like the idea. But it is interesting that different paths can arrive
at the same destination. My own starting point to it was observing Rudesind as being
old, bent and resembling a monkey.

(I had noticed all the JW's also. Funny. I think Wolfe has a son named Roy but I don't
know if his other son's name starts with J)

Anyway, reminds me of a similar dual path to Agia and Agilus being Severian's cousins. 
For Borski it was their twin status and the aureate imagery Wolfe gives them and other
family members of Severian. He (weirdly) thinks their mother is the jailed woman who 
makes furniture from children.

For me it was the incest between Agia and Agilus that steered me in the direction and
identification of a better possible mother/aunt to link them to Severian. That aunt 
being Cyriaca, the dark-haired, oval-faced, failed Pelerine who could be a sister (in 
some manner) to Catherine. If her goal, after escape from Thrax, is to survive by cooking
and sewing in Nessus, it may be that she is unaware her son is dead and her daughter 
has closed up the used garment shop she bequeathed them.
