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.

Catherine Wheel

Named for the martyr St. Catherine, whose famed monastery sit on Mt. Sinai.
Allegedly she was to be put to death a wheel by burning, which miraculously
turned into flowers instead of flames.

Matt Ruff's trilogy WATER GAS &* ELECTRIC features as one of its three main
characters the daughter of the Mother Superior of the purple-clad Catholic
order of lesbian, child-bearing nuns, the Order of St. Catherine of the
Burning Wheel.

If you haven't read WG&E, go out. Pick it up. Read it. Wait until you meet
"29 Names for Snow". Or the "Eager Beaver".
