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 called this a confirmation not evidence. Obviously, it would fall 
under the rubric of "Confirmation Bias". I agree --already from the 
text-- that Silk is the son of Typhon. But I think the textual evidence 
that he is a CLONE of Typhon is much stronger.

But the article I quoted implies why the name Pas was chosen as Typhon's 
Whorl personality. Silk is built on Aristaeus and therefore 
Typhon-on-the-Whorl was based on Pan. As both were names for the same 
entity but different ancestries and acts.
