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.

In the 14th century, the Earth definitely revolved around the Sun even 
if only Copernicus said so.

There is simply no other reasonable explanation, given the context, for 
Pike's sparkly disapperating ghost and the astral flying Oreb Silk also 
meets upstairs at a time when Oreb's wing is damaged.
Combine that with Rajan appearing in the grandmother's tale, and the 
timelines not matching for when Horn left, Hide left, Hoof left, and the 
ages of Sinew's sons -- well, dream-travel is time travel.
