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.

For the record, I don't believe that dream travel involves time travel. And,
yes, I've seen what you regard as evidence, but I am not persuaded.

Let me see if I have this straight. You are suggesting that on the day Horn
visited Mucor and Marble at Mucor's Rock, at the beginning of Horn's journey
to Pajarocu, Silk was bleeding beside Hy's casket?
