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.

Silk tried to kill himself and "was not really there" in his own body.  He was so distraught he tried to destroy his own spirit.  At least that is the best explanation for why Horn would be the dominant personality there.  It's only after Silk's personality has been reinforced by a helping of Silver Silk from Pig (this is why the climax of the search for Silk is in sacrificing the eye) that Silk is in the mix again, causing the confusion of the guy writing OBW.
