Lexicon Urthus

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.

Writing about the Z and Y series, Jeff Wilson asked:
>Mine has note testifying to both symptoms - Is this some hybrid ZY beastie?

More like yours is the annonymous ancestor to all the others, the first to
escape the "to burn box"!  (I really was going to destroy them, as you know
-- it is just my soft heart and the terrible sense of waste that kept me
receptive to another way, and eBay auctions seem to be perfect.)

That was before the taxonomies of Z and Y were discovered.  OTOH, it is
possible for a given book to have both symptoms, it is just that the Y is
dominant for determining whether a book is Z or Y.
