Quasar and Cloud

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.

For what it's worth, I have never thought that Fortunate Cloud and =
Quasar were the same ship. But I have never thought it surprising that =
Jonas and Hethor know each other. Ships dock at the same ports, sailors =
frequent the same taverns, and, too, they jump ship and sign onto =
others. OTOH, I've only just begun to seriously entertain the thought =
that Hethor may indeed be KLS---a name, I have argued for 2 years, =
Chris, undoubtedly Korean.

FC and Q are (or were) a different order of ship than Tzadkiel's, more =
mundane, I would say, but also subject to the timewarps of space. (Or do =
I mean the spacewarps of time?) Thus, though Tzadkiel's ship really is =
the only one of its kind, there are or were others of a different kind. =
Hey, there's the Whorl!=20
