resurrecting a 2002 thread that posits an alternative lineage for Sev

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.

No problem.  I just didn't want meaning to be confused.  [And now it is
indeed you, too, who have said that the ghost of Hamlet's father is not an
alien, and our disjunctive posts have come full circle, three in one, one
in three.]
And the math is indeed the same, independent of the language, (as long as
the consciousness of the mathematician is operating in the same dimension,
I suppose).
