Who's Right

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.

Aquastors vs Ediolons:

http://www.urth.net/urth/archives/v0017/0074.shtml

Obviously, if aquastor Malrubius can watch the play and aquastor 
Triskele can chase birds, someone else's aquastor ought to be able to 
see Severian and what he is up to. But in the spirit of the recent 
watching/following question let us ask, are there any occasions when 
Severian sees similar simians, either actual animals or their depictions?


(It may be worthwhile to note that in the much smaller citadel of the 
1950's A&M campus, at least one building had prominent animal skull 
relief on the fascia.)
