Summa contra Marcus

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.

Well, yeah. But it was (at the time) the only explanation that
had been offered. I have since offered a very silly retrovirus
-- one capable of having a nearly identical effect on elephants
and crocodilians, and possibly humans...

I'm pretty sure that Wolfe has stated that Sev's bringing=20
of the New Sun means that the Green Man's future is the
one that will happen.
