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.

Yes. As I've argued repeatedly in the past, the Rajan's astral travel
definitely permits and includes time-travel. The first evidence of it
was when Silk saw an astral-traveling Oreb fly out of his window and
fade away at a time in the story when the Oreb had a broken wing.
I don't know of another explanation for that event.

That Silk should eventually gain power over Time was prefigured
in the subtle associations of him with Zervan 
(http://www.well.com/~davidu/leontosphere_jp70.jpg):
an association that confused me until I read The Short Sun.
Perhaps there is another such association with Horn somewhere.
