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.

Further to my Grand Unified Severain Theory that's captured the hearts and
minds of this list (please, no autographs) it has struck me that if the
Hieros are part abo, or if their morphing ability is the result of Number
Five's splicing of human and abo DNA, then the extermination of Urth's
indiginous population and its replacement with abo-spliced human stock would
in fact count as their revenge upon the humanity that created them, given
the extermination of the abos by human colonists so long ago.
