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'm glad the conversation in this thread has drifted back to its subject and the "God of Wine" that Horn mentions in
connection to The Outsider. What would a goat hand be like, if a goat had a hand?

Roy didn't we have a discussion regarding ungulates and the names Horn, Hoof, Hide etc.?

Hm..on the other hand....

Severian has a dream in which Thecla has a remembrance of her father. In the dream there is taurean figure I'd always
wondered about.
