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.

Just to clarify: what I had in mind was reappearances at long
intervals (thus reconciling the 'thirty thousand years' thing with
Typhon's dates - though that might alos be explained through a change
of plan on Wolfe's part). More than one appearance in Typhon's reign
is also possible, though, I guess. (But I had an idea that Typhon died
shortly after Severian's meeting with him - does this have a
foundation?)
