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.

I apologize for asking such a question as Im sure it has been
discussed ad naseum but as I am fairly new to the list and still
playing catch up in the archives here goes: What makes anyone think
that Silk is a clone of Typhon?  Id be interested in hearing the basis
of this theory and any textual evidence anyone has that points to such
a conclusion.  Thanks.
