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.

I think this is a good observation. Inhumi have less shape-shifting ability than abos. 
They retain fangs and claws and must use optical illusion to complete their imitation of
humans. But they seem extremely happy when they dream-travel and become fully human. They 
don't want to go back home and to their original form.
