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.

Obviously from the text, Silk and Hy had sex.  I
recall now that one of the theophanies in a window
shows a reconstituted Pas choking the life out of
Echidna.  My guess is that this is when Scylla fled
into Oreb and when Echidna's ban ceased to have
effect.
