This week in Google Alerts

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 don't see the connection. Severian (Wolfe has made clear in
interview) is an _imitatio Christi_, not a Christ. But why would this
keep the Outsider from being the One God of the Abrahamic faiths? It
seems that he leads Silk into something very like Christian morals and
practice.

I agree.
