Nessus when?

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 think Michael Andre-Driussi has made a good argument for the time of
Typhon being only about 1000 years before the time of Severian. But it's
clear that there is some time dilation going on to bridge the remaining
700-year gap.=20
