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 get it now. Horn didn't tell Nettle he was a Neighbor, so ... he wasn't!

I also failed to fully answer a question. I think the Neighbor was 
seeing what the new Horn would do when granted astral/dream travel. He 
went to Nettle rather than to his favorite tree. Resurrection (or 
transubstantiation) complete.
