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 asked this question a while back in the middle of a longer message about
Peace and didn't get any takers and I hope y'all don't mind me taking
another shot.

I love the story of the Sidhe and the flock of geese at the very end of
the book, but I don't think I quite get it.  I mean, I enjoy the story all
by itself, but I don't see what it has to do with Weer's story.  Given the
placement of the story there must be some connection I'm missing.

Anyone see something here I'm missing?
