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.

How much of the text are you willing to ignore? I mean the part that 
Wolfe actually wrote.

And why Silk? Out of everyone in the Whorl? Why not Auk? He's the 
prophet. Why not Horn? Why not someone from a village closer to Mainframe?
