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.

Yes, and Severian as a Dark Sun manifests both. On the other hand, I
think that from one point of view you can see Severian as manifesting
the dark aspect of God, and Silk as manifesting the light aspect.
