the prime calcula/his citadel and other quotes

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.

I also question whether there is "loads of textual support".  In truth, I am 
hard-pressed to see any.  But I accept that you and perhaps others do.  So I 
concentrate on the consequences we would expect to see if Silk were indeed 
somehow a clone of Typhon.
