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.

Perhaps it would help (help you stop arguing with Marc) if you just consider it a 
spiritual connection and stop dwelling on the biology.

Perhaps they do. I see no evidence that they don't. Are we shown any means by which
inhumi get to Blue?

>Also, Quetzal had a tree in his garden.  Not a liana.

Aren't gardens supposed to provide a food source? Why would it have a liana?
And if it did previously have one on that tree, perhaps it is gone because it 
turned into Quetzal ;- ).
