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 is somewhat amusing that BOTNS is a time travel story, and Severian
sleeps with his grandmother, but the means of so doing is not time
travel (at least not by severian).

Any SF stories where the grandfather paradox is a result of the
grandmother being brought forward in time (and then sent back?)
