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.

Is it clear that Horn still sees the Outsider as a minor god? Silk
stopped seeing him as one; Horn, as a devotee of Silk, is likely to
have done the same.

Somewhere in _Long Sun_ someone, I think Marble, says that the
Outsider was worshipped on the Short Sun Whorl - that does not seem to
fit a friend of Typhon (but does fit the Increate).
