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 guess I can sort of swallow, chokingly, the idea that
Horn became a neighbor in the pit as Stu describes.

No, no, no. The Neighbor in the form of a greenbuck whom Horn was chasing 
when he kilt hisself _became_ _Horn_: reanimating him and taking on his 
identity. Neighbors seem to be more morally sensitive than humans because 
the Neighbor feels such great guilt over killing Horn (as he sees it) that 
he spends almost the entire novel coming to terms with it.

James, you officially just blew my fucking mind.

This only sort of gently stroked my mind, largely with the back of its fingernails.
It was the part about Swamp Thing that blew my mind.
Now my mind needs a refractory period.
