Which character from BotNS do you identify with most?

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.

That DOES play to Severian's question to Ultan about how much one would have to eat to obtain all of another one's memories. If you eat the left, and I eat the right, do we both have 100% of the thing of which we ate, etc.
