More Castleview (Spoilers)

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.

I hadn't seen that in the archives, as the only stuff I've read on
Castleview in the archives is the stuff from last month, but it does make
sense. I believe there's even a comment somewhere about there being many
people "of the king's blood." Thanks for the clarification.
