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.

Perhaps Inire is only a cousin to the heirodules because he was 
specially made to include Urthly human seed. Alpheta mates with Sev so 
that his seed can be integrated with the White Fountain. Where else 
would they get human seed?

Ymar? Or--- surely not Appian? He was emasculated and sent back to Urth. 
But if the gonads stayed in Yesod, they would be very useful in  making 
a purpose built, human-like agent to further their plot. But then the 
humanness leads him on his own agenda...
