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 don't think Marc has said it can't be also metaphorical. It's  
everybody else who say it can't be also literal.

Aiui James considers that the definiteness of Horn dying in the pit is  
an important element in itself - not the death, but its definiteness.
