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.

Well doesn't Severian mate with Apheta? I'm not sure inner-species mating would be my main objection to Inire as Boatman.

Unless the corridors of time can create X amount of instances of Inire's and Severian's, of course.

He is Father Inire and yet not, to my knowledge, a priest. Anyone for Inire as Increate?
