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.

Horn runs through other versions of Silk's story (Horn's is _The Book of the
Long Sun_, commonly known as _The Book of Silk_).  One he mentions that he
hasn't read was written by a man in the city of Urbasecundus, in English "S=
econd
City."  Now, what large city with that sobriquet does Wolfe live near?

(I've read two chapters and already have several mysteries to think about, =
and
at least one from tBotLS elucidated -- more on that later.)
