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.

Silk also has a red-gold beard.

"At his washstand upstairs, he stropped the big, bone-handled razor that 
had waited hi his mother's bureau until he was old
enough to shave, lathered his face, and scraped away his reddish-blond 
beard."

If Silk is a clone of Typhon, then Typhon's "blonde" hair was actually 
"strawberry-blonde".

I *do* think hair color is a family signature, although I don't know 
exactly how it all fits together.

But I still believe that red hair and reddish blonde hair is intended to 
connect someone to the family of Typhon.
