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.

I think the problem with Horn dying at this point is the consequence - that 
either there is no more Horn or Horn resurrects. The first makes the whole 
story a sham (not so much for us as for the characters), the second 
introduces an element that not only seems to be otherwise absent from LS/SS, 
but is applied to Horn in particular with no justification.
