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.

Gerry, I am only going to include the parts of the quote I find especially interesting.? Yes, it is far away,? But is that distance in time?? Why is this whorl called ancient, and this city old?? Sure it is far away, but I think that is not necessarily evidence that he can really see it in anything but his mind, but yes, you are right, I can't find a mechanism that satisfactorily explains why they would arrive at that particular time.? I don't think the neighbors possess horn at all.? I think they hybridize with him to make Neighbor Horn.
