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.

Darn...all my Wolfe books are in storage until I finish moving.  The answer
is YES, Severian does continue his adventures.  I think it goes on for another
three books (that's four total), but it might be more.  I believe I saw a 'new'
Wolfe book in this series the other day..._..._the_New_Sun_ I think.  I know
this isn't much help, but I'm sure somebodyelse in Netland has his/her Wolfe
books on a shelf!  The title are something like this (it's been years since
I read this series):

	Shadow of the Torturer
	Claw of the Concillitator
	Sword of the Licher
	Orb of.....
	....the New Sun

This is all by memory so sorry for the incompletness.
