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.

doesn't that seem too easy, though? especially considering the fact that older is the illogical description of it, instead of just, you seem like another me, or a sister.  A larger fragment doesn't imply age, but let's say if a young woman were possessed by Scylla and a much older  man by Hierax and he said to her,  "you really seem to be my older sister somehow", it would make more sense.  Or if clones were grown out of their birth order.  

Hard to equate more of something with being chronologically first, in my opinion.
