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.

The Book of Silk looks to me like a significant work, in need of s 
significant author.

In fact, all we know of Horn is from Horn's hand. All we know of Silk, too. 
For all we know, SIlk may have never existed, even, and 'Horn' is just who 
the narrator identifies with. The Book of Silk may be a tremendous 
fabrication (but tremendous nonetheless).
