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.

Yet another problem with this theory.  When the narrator and Hoof and
Jahlee travel to Green and visit Sinew's city, they go out to the lander
where Horn died and retrieve the Neighbor ring and leave it with
Sinew.  Surely people would have noticed and made a fuss if Horn's body
had actually been a dead inhumu.
