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, the later "version" IS the ruler of Gaon.
But I don't believe he is primarily Silk or Horn (both of whom have died 
at that point). I think the name Silkhorn carries incorrect implications 
about the Rajan/Narrator's identity. Wolfe once referred to the 
character in Silk's body who returns from the Whorl as "the Rajan" and I 
prefer that.
