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.

Did I read this correctly? Pas is none other that that two-headed body-stea=
ling
world-conquring pan-egotist Typhon from the Books of the New Sun? The
starcrosser "Whorl" was launched in Severian's era? I'm amazed that I didn'=
t see
that before.

I'm off to the bookstore today to get a new copy of "Nightside", then I'll
re-read the set properly.
