Horn's ability

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.

This quasi-dream/quasi-reality essence is exactly what I think WOlfe was going
for. He doesn't WANT us to be able to fully understand it. I'll offer the 
additional evidence that Horn can shake the hand of a Neighbor but he can't 
quite count how many limbs or heads or individuals are there.
