Silk/Malrubius

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.

I've finally finished reading through the archives,
and I'm left with a question (which I hope I just
haven't overlooked).

In an interview, GW mentions a possible connection
between Silk and Master Malrubius (I can't locate the
interview at the moment). I was wondering if anyone
else had determined how/why this connection would be
made. Why, for example, would an aquastor (as I recall
Malrubius is) Silk be used to communicate with
Severian? I find it an intriguing connection between
the books, but I'm having trouble understanding what
purpose it would serve.

Craig
