A truly awful joke

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.

Good question.  Obviously Silk has telepathic powers, and had them *before *he
killed Blood.  Now, we already know that the inhumi were in the *Whorl *at
least 37 years before the commencement of *Nightside*, and we theorize, ah,
assume, hey?  That they got their, not, ah, unaided.  So from this joke, I
think it is, um, allowable?  Supportable to conclude that Silk is *
part-Neighbor* the entire time.
