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.

You know, having come kicking and screaming to the conclusion that Silk 
is positively a clone of Typhon, this actually complicates Silk's 
encounter on the Aureate Path. Let's say two of his parents are Tussah 
and Silk's Mother. Who are the other two? Typhon as clone father? Okay. 
Maybe. So who is the other mother? Not Kyrpris or even Mamelta. "Early 
Summer"?
