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.

Fellow Urthers:

The following BotNS references from other sci-fiction works have got my
attention:

1) In Stephen R. Donaldson's "Gap" series, there is a character named Sorus
*Chatelaine*.

2) In Kim Stanely Robinson's Mars trilogy, specifically the second book,
there is much talk of "the green and the white" in terms of the destiny of
Mars. Severian speaks of the "green and the white" during his time with
Master Ash.

3) The "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" video game for the Sony
Playstation has some BotNS stuff. There is to be found a falchion, Terminus
Est (described as "an executioner's sword" and blunt-tipped), and an estoc.
