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.

I have no doubt Babbie is Horn. But does Horn have to vacate the Rajan 
for this to happen?

I'll have to finish RTTW again to read the ending. If Silk is alone at 
the end, then Horn must leave at some point, and this is as good as any.
