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 once had a theory that the Whorl never left Urths system and
functioned more like an Ark made to spare some of humanity from the
flooding of Ushas.  Typhon knowing of the flooding brought by the
White Fountain built the Whorl/Mainframe as a way to continue his rule
after the New Suns coming.  If Green is indeed Urth maybe the Whorl
was always in orbit right over Severians head the whole time.  Again
this was a theory I had years ago.
