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 rather fancy that what Wolfe was doing there is related to the metaphor
of the Amphisbaena related by Ossipago et al.  The head of creation is
being worried and eaten by the head of destruction, but if the head of
destruction is killed, the entire serpent dies completely.  Man as we
understand him will die, but something continues ... perhaps the two
futures, save for the ice, are not actually as disparate as they at first
appear.
