Pike's ghost

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.

Not necessarily. That can be explained away plausibly. Imo and that of 
others, the problem is the second Oreb.
There is *that I know of* no *credible* way to have a second Oreb there that
doesn't involve good old time travel. And saying it wasn't Oreb isn't
enough: GW uses so much ink with it that there *must* be something there.
Other than that, I find that time-travel *as part of* dream-travel is very
unsatisfactory (other than some fluctuation, but that very restricted),
unless it's key to some other revelation which may be there but I haven't
seen yet (f.i., it's key to Marc's theory, but as I said I can't make his
theory work for me).
