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.

This is why I particularly enjoy Dan Maitz's cover painting for _Claw_, in
which the zoanthrops are blinded by the light of Severian's Claw. This ties
in with a remark made by Dorcas, something along the lines of "People are
always saying that when the New Sun comes, he will be too bright to look at=
."
