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, yes, what I mean is that by pointing out ambiguities you feel you are disproving 
theories or weakening them perhaps.

If self-contradiction really bothers you so much I can understand why you don't believe in God.
I accept and now much better understand your role in interpreting Gene Wolfe. It is a valuable
one.

Cool beans!:-)
