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 REALLY don't want to start the whole debate over about Sev-Christ, really, I don't.


But I just noticed thid great bit in CLAW, Dorcas says, " To me you're Life, and you're a young man named Severian, and if you wanted to put on different clothes and become a carpenter or a fisherman, no one could stop you."
 
"Carpenter" "Fisherman"  hmmm......

Just pointing that bit out, not trying to prove anyone wrong.
