Typhon's concessions

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.

Actually I think of the Solar Cycle as a *previous* cycle of the Universe.
This explains the "archaeological" approch in the BotNS afterwords, and I
believe that Wolfe would say that in a Universe _after_ ours, no Fall would
take place because Jesus.

This also explains things like Baldanders/Frankenstein: Mary Shelley didn't
premember Baldanders, it was a haunting from the previous Universe cycal.

When faced with two alternatives, I always like to choose the fourth.
