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 did think about it, but I had an impression that no. The only "seed" 
that hints at possible visits of Silk/Horn
(and my belief was that it could be indeed a "seed" that later grew in 
mind of Gene himself and possible
gave him an idea to develop the connection in SS) is the remark that 
Master Gurloes was a deep man trying
to play simple, who wandered alone in the night, could stop suddenly, 
speak with the invisible etc.
