Sev's family tree

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.

Thanks Ryan. It's good to be reminded of that.

>Son of Witz: The only advice I've given Lee Berman is to not get so upset when people knock 
>down your idea.

Don't worry I am not upset. There was just a misunderstanding. I've know that some people
are here to knock down the ideas of others, but my first assumption is always that people are
here to better understand the ideas of others. As soon as the intentions are clear I can
tailor my responses accordingly.

>It seems like you just want to argue. I appologized and have said many times 
>that I value your contributions.

No, I don't want to argue but I have points I like to make, the same as anyone else who
posts. I value your contributions also and have no interest in dragging things out further.
My apologies for incorrectly attributing intentions on your part. That was my fault.

I think some conflict is inevitable when people are working at cross-purposes. For example, 
if someone is seeking to create visual illustrations of BotNS I can understand their desire
to focus on "what is written".

My own emphasis is more on the non-visual, mental landscapes which are created by Gene Wolfe
and to complete the pictures he has left incomplete. The most interesting part for me is to 
figure out the        of what is not actually       , but is implied or alluded to.
