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.

Yeah, I get that. But I don't see how Horn even _could_ have chosen to 
do that unless he were already far more than human. Anyway, I think Horn 
had already been absorbed into Babbie in the same way Rose was absorbed 
into her hands. The hus is a quite peculiar plot element, though. Unlike 
the other indigenous lifeforms of Blue, it's really not clear to me how 
his species came to get it's name. What Murcor intended in sending 
Babbie with Horn is important, I think.
