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 don't recall that statement specifically, but there is a passage where
Able says that all the levels of the WK universe from Mythgarthr on up have
multiple "places" or "worlds" in them. I believe the context is the
discussion of how each level is infinite but ten times smaller than the
level above it, and how the "place" where the Giants of Winter and Old Night
live is part of Skai but different from where the Valfather lives. He also
states that Aelfrice and the levels below it only have one "place" in them,
if I recall correctly.

America could be another "place" sideways from Mythgarthr.
