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.

The jury is still out for me on the Silk/Typhon clone debate.  One thing
that strikes me though is
that we do not need a conspiracy of many failing to comment on Silk
resembling Typhon.  We just
need Horn and Nettle to agree to omit these details from the story.
As pure speculation: Silk sees his face on Pas's body, realises that he is a
clone of Typhon/Pas.
The realisation that he is in some ways Pas sends him into a suicidal revery
which fortunately he survives.
He divulges the reason to Horn for this revelation and asks Horn not to
share it with anyone.  Horn goes on
to write his account of Silk portraying him in nothing but the best light.

As I say this is not in reference to the text stronly but does allow many
people to have noticed the resemblance
between Silk and Pas and for only two individuals to collude to cover this
fact up.
