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.

Yeah, when I wrote that I suspected it *might* have been the other way 
around--but I decided to just go for it. And here's why: The events are 
so closely connected in time it doesn't really matter.

Andrew, I think you and I have discussed before that one wants more 
evidence than "Well, who else could it be?", but there really are a very 
limited number of night choughs in the Long/Short Sun story. Even if 
Silk had not discovered an astral old man in Pike's room, the existence 
of an astral Oreb would be a strong hint that the Rajan was nearby.
