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.

vizcacha,

Thanks for the note on "Green Room"--I knew of it because the same
(no doubt derived from the theatrical tradition) is used at
conventions (informal pre-panel prep room for panel participants),
but I still wonder as to the etymology or historical reasons as to
how and why.  (Does anybody know?)

What we have so far certainly deserves mention in "Additions, Errata,
&cetera: volume 3," as well as all the other tidbits slated and a
huge amount about Kardashev Type I, Type II, and Type III (levels of
interstellar civilization); the 20th century science (and subsequent
science fiction) regarding a possibly already dying sun; the text
points of TBOTNS suggesting a black hole in the Sun (this lack in the
LEXICON is shocking); terraforming timelines, stellaforming, and
other relevant notes from Fogg's TERRAFORMING, and so on.

Will there be room for the article on "ProtoS" (the proto-Severian)?
Probably not, but we shall see.
