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.

A thought to add to my own last post: there is a logical explanation, or at
least a novelist's explanation, for the culturally, racially and sexually
segregated cities (or enclaves) of the Whorl and Blue. It's that old joker
Typhon/Pas at it again. He wants his "ark" to preserve as many or Urth's
customs and bloodlines as possible, so he sets up these artificially
segregated cities and preserves "ethnic purity" (or the cultural equivalent)
by setting them all at each other's throats. (Helps keep the population down
too--a lot like Yahweh, our Typhon.)
