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.

Yeah, Marc and I (rightly) recognize certain clues _as clues_ that are 
generally ignored entirely. But from there we radically and 
irreconcilably diverge. Marc at least DOES try to explain HOW the vines 
and trees are related to inhumi and Neighbors, while I do not address 
that question at all. However, I'm in strong disagreement  with him 
regarding what happens to Horn in that pit and consequently accepting 
the rest gets problematic. But at least Marc is attempting to look at 
the text "with open eyes". It seems to me that most people merely ignore 
half of what is said, referenced, and alluded to in the "The Book of the 
Short Sun".

Here is Marc's full theory as of several years ago. He might have 
tweaked it since then.
