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.

SS is also holographic, but I don't think Horn talks about genetics
because plants are the key.  Hybrids are the key.  Silk and Horn must be
combined to get the benefits of hybrid vigor, but it won't last. =20
Eventually (corn) Silk must return to being a pure strain in order to be
healthy.
