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.

You've forgotten "The Cat", a short story set in the House Absolute
during Severian's Autarchy.  It is anthologized in _Endangered Species_,
along with "The Map."

I suppose you could include "The Old Woman Who Used The Sun ... " err,
something (another Cheap St. chapbook) as another story from _The Wonders
of Urth and Sky_ although there's no external evidence, other than the
title.
