Like a good Neighbor

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.

She sees Quetzal as ?the man who isn?t there?.  And she sees Silk as ?filled? during her exorcism, where everyone else looks hollow.  Don?t know how those fit, but just noting it.  It would be interesting to know how she sees chems, but I don?t think we are told.

I guess it may be something Wolfe has decided to leave a little vague anyway.  I?m not sure there is a super-consistent model to find.
