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.

any other color would have been insignificant.  But blue and black are the same colors as Kypris, and Silk's blue eyes are well documented as rare.  p670 of Epiphany:
"You don't look like her.  Like Chenille.  ... your eyes are blue, but hers are brown."  Almost no one in Viron has blue eyes like Silk, Chenille probably resembles her biological father Tussah.  So you don't think the motherhood feeling he describes while with Mamelta is a narrational juxtaposition at all?  Do I really need to explicitly state the importance of her eye and hair color?
