Oreb possessed?

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 can agree with you that something is "funny time wise" here, but Im
beginning to think that while Pikes appearance maybe had to do with some
temporal/astral travel,  Oreb is another matter entirely.  Pike is
seen several minutes and a few pages after Oreb. Maybe Oreb and Pike aren't
so connected after all.
