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.

So, yes, I think it highly likely most, and likely all, remained behind on Urth. > -----Original Message----- > From: Greene, Carlton [SMTP:CGreene2 at hunton.com] > Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 1999 6:42 PM > To: urth at lists.best.com > Subject: (urth) Scylla -- from Urth to Whorl? > > Is there any connection between the monster Scylla mentioned in the BOTNS > and Typhon's daughter Scyla dealt with in the Long Sun books?
