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.

And on the related notion that Tussah is also a clone of Typhon, based at
least in part on the reading that the tall, blue-eyed man in Silk's
near-death vision of his parents was Tussah (which I do not believe), there
were also individuals who had known and seen both Silk and Tussah, such as
Quetzal, Remora and some members of the Ayuntamiento. None of them gave any
indication that Silk and Tussah looked anything alike, even when they were
discussing the late Calde's legacy at the meeting they were having just
before Horn burst in and betrayed his authorship.
