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.

inhumu, but (alas) I think Wolfe said she was an "alien".  I'm not sure=20
exactly what that means, but he did say for sure that Merryn was NOT an inh=
umu=20
even though she had difficulty with animals in that recent interview (with=20
Nick Gevers, correct?).  Would things from the moon really be aliens ... hm=

Probably not.  Juganu does indicate that there are inhumu on Urth with the=20
statement "We are everywhere!" in Return to the Whorl, and I would like to =
say=20
that the Cummean is one, but I think there might not be enough evidence for=20
that.

Hey, "unfortunately"?!  Are you saying I'm like the "bad guy" on the list? =

my theories prove true is it like the Dark Side of the Force triumphing or=20
something?!  Oh well.  "It's better to be feared than loved", I suppose.
