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.

This is Sean Whalen (prion).

Yet another piece of evidence that Aunt Jeannine in _The Fith Head of
Cerberus_ is really an abo impostor.

On page 52 of the Orb edition, No. 5 describes her withered legs as
"like the sticks David and I used as little boys, when doing parlor
magic, we wished Mr. Million to believe us lying prone when we were in
fact crouched beneath our own supposed figures."

He's comparing her legs to devices used to deceive and make one thing
seem to be another, to conceal.
