Juturna, the Missing Sister

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.

>John Watkins- At some point, every detail becomes a prop for one wild theory or another-

Well, I certainly agree that Borski takes one theme, like haircolor or onomastics and
runs with it and stretches it beyond all credulity. The blonde catamite is a perfect 
example. I forget his explanation...Baldanders stole Dorcas DNA during their travels and 
used that to grow it, or something like that. Kinda silly.

I would not be comfortable entertaining such speculation unless two or three themes 
converge to the same conclusion.  If Severian felt sexually attracted to the catamite
and/or the catamite was decorated with some sort of cloisonne and/or if the catamite 
were a twin or named Ouen, etc... only then could I consider the possibility it was
related to Severian. Gold hair by itself just isn't enough.
