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 missed a Chras quote from RTTW when I posted on this topic previously. =
In the scene where SIlkHorn assists with the sacrifice in Viron, we get =
this passage:

"A simple way would be to admit that myth is neither irresponsible =
fantasy, nor the object of weighty psychology [etc] ..."

Anybody know where this comes from? Google has let me down.=20

It reads like something which could be in the Introduction to Graves'  =
"The Greek Myths" (lost my copy years ago), but I guess there are many =
other possibilities.
