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.

Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

In your theory, Horn also becomes enjoined with a Neighbor named Greenbuck? In conjoining all
these ungulate animal parts and humans, inhumi and Neighbors into his family, what exactly is 
the Narrator creating?
