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.

Well, I have always seen the two parents as evidence that Silk is not
a clone. Also, it still seems to me that Silk's response is best
explained if he recognises his mother, and this makes most sense if
she is Mamelta; (her being Kypris would also explain it, but would
bring problems of its own).
