Quetzal in orbit

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.

Ah, straight from the horse's mouth!  It's tough to argue with Gene Wolfe
himself about what Typhon knew! : )  I agreed with all your other points
about Quetzal's motivation, my only speculation was to whether Pas was in
the know with the inhumi=3D2E  Alas, apparently not!  Too bad, though, I li=
