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.

Quite a lot more time than a week must separate Silk's visit to Urth =
from Dorp (RTTW Ch 13) & his final visit from New Viron (Ch 19). But in =
both passages, Sev has Triskele, whereas in Shadow Sev tells us he only =
had the dog for a week - Ch IV: "A week after I had carried him down, I =
found only Triskele's hobbling footprints in the mud..."

Either:

(1) Wolfe made a little mistake.
(2) Silk can & does astral travel through time as well as space.
(3) Silk's first visit somehow changes things, so that Triskele stays =
longer (the blankets he has in RTTW aren't mentioned in Shadow ...)
(4) Some other thing.

I pick (1).
