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.

in Alexandria, that the labyrinth of the House Absolute is at Knossos, that
the stone town is Athens (and that when you go back a million years [say] at
that lattitude and longitude you find yourselves not in Greece but in South
America), that Lake Diuturna covers Rome, that the Pelerine's camp is in
Switzerland and that Master Ash's house is atop an Alp.<<

How can I possibly argue with that!? <g> I surrender my sword, for...
