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.

An interesting thing about the multiple Father Inire theory is that multiplicity has been used as a sort of failsafe technique at least two other places in the books.  Typhon/Pas squirrels his two-headed self away for a better day (literally--a repaired sun), but also sends out a generation starship just in case.  ...and Severian of the five coffins.
