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.

Gerry, Gerry, Gerry you know quite well that you have postulated 
theories regarding this far more elaborate than that.

Of course, the theory that "Pike's ghost" was generated by technology is 
the one line of inquiry that Wolfe has personally emphatically asserted 
is not the case.

I've presented a theory based on the existence of a "second" Oreb at 
Silk's residence that night and the evidence that Rajan can Time-travel. 
You have presented alternate explanations that even YOU won't own. This 
kabuki theater we play is getting boring.
