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.

All this talk about atheism has me wondering since it's been a couple of years 
now since I've actually re-read it: are there any passages in New Sun where the 
Increate acts directly? In Long Sun, obviously, we have Silk's opening vision. 
But is there anything equivalent with Severian that is (or appears to be) 
something that wasn't the Hiero's doing?

That's probably a difficult question to answer and likely slides easily into 
speculation. Still, I'm interested.
