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 think it only stands to reason that Severian would become a vanished
person if Blue is Ushas.  Remember in Apu Punchau's tomb when the Hierodules
explain to Severian that even though he was an eidolon, as he took in the
food and water and air of his environment it would be incorporated into his
body and make it real?  Severian would most certainly evolve with his
surroundings and whatever created the polyploidy in all the other creatures
would affect him as well.  The other Severian's are perhaps visitors from
the corridors of time.
