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.

I don't remember that either.

The doctor who works for Vodalus and treats Severian in /Citadel/, Ch. XXVI.  
The phrase "old leech" is in the text.

Thanks to Jeff Wilson for pointing that Severian's memory is connected with his 
ability to heal by turning back time.  I'd never made that connection.
