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.

Mantis a ecrit:

> Anyway, point is: Severian is an energy vampire.

Whoa there, big fella.  This is based on a whole
series of speculations.

But still:  it creates some interesting thoughts re:
the claim that Severian will turn up in the "Book=20
of the Short Sun" -- an energy vampire might be just
the thing for dealing with those nasty inhumi
(??=3Dburied ones??), not so?

(Or whose side will he be on, anyway?

And is it possible -- or even probable, given Wolfean
head games -- that we have a completely wrong idea
about the inhumi...?)
