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 have heard that Terry Pratchett has a habit of cramming his books with cl=
ever
references to other books and authors.  Most are too clever for me to catch=
, but
this one in Carpe Jugulum made me think it might be a nod toward Wolfe and =
the
Long/New Sun books.

"On one shelf alone he found fourty-three remarkably similar accounts of a =
great
flood, and in every single one of them a man very much like Bishop Horn had
saved the elect by building a magical boat."
