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.

Nutria,

The entire Commonwealth as "Delaware-size or smaller" provides a
geographical topological hydrological latitudinal paradox.  All
together, it is a charming idea but I strenuously doubt it.

Peter,

Re: Severian as Faustian when tempted by the undine who quotes
Marlow.  Please say more--which temptation are you thinking of?  The
dream scene?  The sandbar scene?

Re: Wolfe and Yeats--looks like you've got the germ of a big meaty
essay.  Go to it!
