Babbiehorn?: Was: a sincere question mostly for roy

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.

If you want to call him Incanto, you are welcome to. I don't see how the 
identity of this fellow has at all changed between the time he was the 
Rajan of Gaon and when he moved to Blanko. He's not simply a merging of 
Silk and Horn. That's my point.
