Like a good Neighbor

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 don' think it was symbolic death to Severian. In BotNS resurrections play
a very different role, there is a series of them and compositionally
the importance of each episode grows until Severian understands that
they are resurrections. Moreover, he doesn't understand what energy
is involved until the moment (in the UotNS) when he tries to heal
inside the Tzadkiel spaceship.
