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.

>KLS---a name, I have argued for 2 years, Chris, undoubtedly Korean.<

 Oh, I don't think anyone is arguing that KLS's name is not Korean, but Man=
tis
believes the language of *Jonas* is not Korean.

>For what it's worth, I have never thought that Fortunate Cloud and Quasar
were the same ship.<

They may have been different, as at this stage of writing the BotNS I'm not
sure Wolfe knew what he was going to do with the Ship of Tzadkiel, as it wo=
uld
not appear until about 6 years later in his writing. But, Wolfe is extremely
self-consistent.
