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.

And isn't Apu PUnchau really Severian (one of him, anyway)? Severian

is raising the dead, travelling through time, causing storms and 

earthquakes and all by channelling the energy of a star through his

puny human cellular structures. Severian is a god and he is using magic, 

loathe though Gerry is to admit it. There is no way he can do what he does 

using what we define as science, i.e. physics, chemistry etc.

Heck, if you believe a human cell can channel stellar level energies

without harm, what else would you believe? That inhumi can travel

unassisted through the void? ;- )
