Why is a chem needed...

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.

Just a thought.   Auk is to Silk as Hildegrin is to Severian?

Hildegrin is in some ways Severian's dark/underworld/criminal twin.  He is
present at the rebirth of Severian's mother/lover Dorcas:  in fact rescues
and advises Severian at that time: so he is a sort of psychopomp.  In his
terminal conflict with Apu-Punchau/Severian in the Stone Town he is killed
**because** he does not recognise the union of Severian with his client (as
I read it)

Can anyone draw out other threads here?
