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.

Err...no one? Because astral traveling had not yet been introduced into 
the story? How many found the astral Oreb odd? Everyone. Didn't you?

Ummm...but we DO have evidence of the astral traveling Oreb and Rajan in 
Silk's room and in the grandmother's tale. So, hurray, right? We have 
confirmation.

The rest of your response is argumentative. So lets stick with these 
since we seem to be bearing fruit.
