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.

Wow! You miss four words and it really changes the meaning. I checked and 
you're right. So I checked my old copy and, yep, it had a bad printing of 
the end of that line. arrg! This re-arranges the furniture a bit. And a 
little chaos does not a convincing argument make.
You're right that this corrected text does mean that Horn does not 
explicitly recall a past as a greenbuck.  The most annoying thing is that I 
will have to rewrite something that nicely put it all together in a bow. 
Those stiff hairs definitely recall a deer hide for me. And I'd say there's 
still pretty solid evidence that the Raja is a Neighbor with Horn's and 
Silk's psyche. Yet, this is going to need buttressing, which I be able to do 
with out a re-reading.
