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.

Well, why Silk, AND why the phallus?

What was taken from Silk? Seems like there was a "small piece" in 
Jaculu, and who knows what from Sand. If Silk had to be scanned, that 
suggests he provided a bigger piece. That's significant.
