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.

Chicks can be brown or black, as an image search will show you.? I suspect that we are supposed to think of the golden color, though, as you say.? Also that Dr. Talos made the cuffs match the collars, as Gerry quoted, for artistic completeness and because Jolenta was going to appear nude as Jahi (or were she, Severian, and Dorcas wearing some kind of body stocking or g-string?)
