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.

Or add fins and blowholes and they make pretty good whales.  So you?re saying that Silk is a Neighbour?  Because, IIRC, it was Silk you were identifying with a faun.

Whales have silky foreskins (Aristotle Onassis used them for cushions on his yacht).  Thus we bring in the phallus theme too.  And narwhals have horns.

Ah, yes. Very like a whale.
