Imputing motives

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 also had my first post before the other fellow was kicked where I asked if AEG was in BOTNS's universe and posited that Sev was the Storm God in that book. Nice try though. 

Nicholas,

You can quote from your iPhone. Just select the text in the original message you want quoted, then when you go to hit Reply, it will only excerpt the selection. I do this from my iPhone all the time, works fine if you know how to select text.

I liked that idea of Severian being the Storm God in An Evil Guest. But I've only done one reading of that book so far, so I'm looking forward to digging back into it one of these days (too much to read... and write!!).
