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.

YES! Definitely. Of course, in a way, he already was his son for Krait's 
mother fed on Sinew as an infant. In the end, Resurrected Horn sees him 
as his son and in a sense he becomes more his son than is Sinew. Perhaps 
part of the reason Sinew eventually revolted was because he recognized 
that Resurrected Horn was not his father.  The same can be said of 
Jahlee who poses as the Rajan's daughter/sister and Fava who poses as 
his daughter.

Hmm.. do you mean "Horn in Silk"? Otherwise, can you elaborate?
