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.

But, Lee, if Wolfe is truly keying off of Genesis 6, where is Noah? The 
ark? The animals?
The ark can't be the Whorl because it wasn't written yet. Noah can't be 
Severian because he's the flood.

Most people would consider this refutation trivial. But I know you will 
get it. If the nephilim are important, then Noah is doubly important. 
Granted Wolfe could have the megatherians play the animals as well as 
the nephilim, but there is no evidence of what happens to them.
