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.

Jerry,

Perhaps you are asking yourself "If that is the intended connection, 
shouldn't Blood have had a twin whose name is associated with water?" 
That's what I thought too as I was reading the books for the first time. 
I still wonder. But, once you are looking for it, the clues to Blood's 
father seems obvious.
