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.

That's a good question, but I'd be the wrong person to enthusiastically 
follow that path since "Silk" is not a Fish related name.
I've always assumed Fish and Frog referred to the stars Fomalhaut and 
Rana. But I don't know why those stars are significant in the The Book 
of the New Sun.
