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.

=00Thanks Tony,  that's just what I wanted to say about Severian and his
temptation in the wilderness . . . .
But I was afraid to jump in so I just stuck in a little toe.

What about Severian's relationship to the women in his life?  He loves
Dorcus, doesn't he?  But Severian compares all the women he meets to Agia.
