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.

As far as James' discussion of the fathers of Silk, while no other father is mentioned, it is explicitly stated that one of them is who Lemur patterns himself after.  Lemur patterns himself not after a secular authority, but after a rather god-like being who has sent his consciousness into a machine (Pas like).  

There is no background to support that Tussah was grown from an embryo, since the seal of Pas had only been recently broken and the embryos stolen.  There is evidence that since the time of Tussah's caldeship, these embryos have been GROWN PREMATURELY, before Pas planned.  Lemur's speech also mentions explicitly that Pas wanted a son to replace him, the other children were just no good.
We also have Silk's head on Typhon's body.  Not Tussah's head.  And Silk never goes bald.  And doesn't look like chenille, who looks just like her father Tussah.  I just don't see HOW we can support the idea that Tussah could be a clone, when there is a TON of evidence that the grown embryos were a well known scandal,and Silk the most expensive one of them all, a very very special embryo that ruined the reputation of a respected Calde.
