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 have trouble imagining how Severian could think a person with a fifty-
something head and a twenty-something head and body was born that
way.? But then I've long had trouble imagining how he could think it no
matter what the ages were.? Were they matched in skin color, hairiness,
etc?
