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.

1) I don't believe there has been any satisfactory full explanation of this.

2) When Horn dies in the the pit, his spirit goes to the Outsider. 
Horn's body is possessed by a Neighbor (that greenbuck Horn was chasing 
when he fell into the pit) who feels culpable for his death. In 
recompense, he adopts Horn's identity and mission. Horn's body dies on 
Green. The Neighbor performs the same trick again by possessing and 
repairing Silk's dying body. Obviously, not everyone agrees with this. 
Marc has an equally developed theory about what happens in the pit. I 
don't no of any other strong opinion about what happens when Horn dies 
the two times.

3) Silk was scanned and has become a Mainframe god. Silver Silk/Silent 
Silk is possessing Pig.
