Silk/Horn in the Matachin Tower

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.

It also isn't quite clear to me what Silk/Horn looks like at this point in
the story (I am just nearing the end of *Return to the Whorl *for the first
time), so that might be hampering my ability to figure this out.  I would
really love for it to have been somewhat planned from the beginning, rather
than just tacked on ... these really overt references to *TBONS *are taking
away from my enjoyment of *Short Sun *a bit.
