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.

Agreed. Resurrection is surely not a power to be handed out equally 
among them, but who knows.

Maybe Babbie sees him alive (yes, he told Seawrack he was dead but he 
didn't say he stayed dead) and, knowing him better than the Neighbor 
Horn, sends him to Nettle. Babbie is after all about as guilty as the 
greenbuck in getting Horn into the pit.
