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.

What an absurd presumption. I would never make it. Certainly, not 
considering Horn is going to soon meet a Neighbor who claims his name is 
also "Horn". There is no reason that the Neighbor who repairs Horn's 
body would not be seen by his body and recorded to memory.  I don't 
prefer that scenario, but it is possible.

Even regarding other people's theories on Wolfe's stories, you are bound 
by self-imposed walls of what is possible.
