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 besides identifying with severian there is a part of me that definitely identifies with hethor.  I want to be the estrapade that grinds their joints at times.  

I have objectified and idolized one or two beautiful women like hethor idolizes his paracoita, and never failed to be disappointed.  I am a small and slender fellow myself, and lord knows I have wanted revenge oft enough to taste it for the failure of the world to replace the objects of perfect beauty forever fled beyond my grasp.
