Pirate Freedom revisited

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.

Very interesting.

For Chris's parents to be himself and Novia is genetically drastically unlikely. ?Even if you make Novia Chris's daughter (!), the odds are worse than 1 in 70 trillion that the baby would get the right set of chromosomes. ?I'd prefer for Chris to be a clone of himself, which would be amusing. ?(It's been suggested that he's a clone, since he calls himself a "half-human monster" and never mentions his mother.) ?That would leave the problem of when he was engineered to be tall.

A difficulty with all of these, maybe not insurmountable--can you get mobbed up if you don't have a family?
