"strike" on the lead weight [Digest urth.v028.n042 ]

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.

One wrinkle is that we don't know how much human physiology has changed
between Severian's time and ours (or between ours and Severians, depending
on how you want to think about the chronology).
