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.

Perhaps it has already been discussed (and if so, could someone please point
me to relevant part of the archive) but did anyone else notice that when
Horn and company go back to the Red Sun Whorl (Urth) in IGJ the commotion
they cause at the gate to the citadel is, I think, the same commotion that
Severian notices at the beginning of Shadow of the Torturer where he
comments briefly about "a disturbance at the gate". I don't have either book
with me right now, but perhaps someone can find he exact passages and see if
this makes sense.

The next question is: Did Wolfe really plan this whole thing twenty years
ago and only now tie it together or did he just leave a few floating loose
ends around without knowing exactly what they would eventually be used for?
