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.

It seems to me that we do. Jahlee and...can't remember the one who looks like a little bald
guy. And both of them want to do one thing on Urth- mate with humans. It seems like there
HAS to be a thematic purpose to that. 

(Wolfe is American, meaning he might put gratuitous violence in his stories but not gratuitous
sex ;- ) )

I don't think we are supposed to think that the dream-travel we actually see involving inhumi 
is the only dream-travel any of them ever engage in. 

Moreover I am interested in Marc's theory regarding Nessus as establishing a more permanent 
connection between Green and Urth. Perhaps some inhumi travel to Urth simply by climbing a 
staircase or going through a mirror or painting or whatever Rudesind does to get from the 
Citadel to the House Absolute.
