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.

Horn, for some reason, is a very special case.  I am pretty sure that normally that devouring was supposed to be fatal, but "something else" saved Horn there.  that is something I need to look into for sure.

So yeah, I think the old school people on Green got eaten, without the resurrection that the spider fellow somehow granted to Horn, but I am definitely NOT firm in that assertion.
