Why I don't like TBOTSS

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.

Or maybe he edited it out because he wanted to show us the similar story
of how Jahlee became Silkhorn's daughter, and having both seemed too
repetitive.

Of course it's not the same, since Silkhorn isn't just Horn, and Horn
loving Krait is probably even more of a stretch than Silkhorn loving
Jahlee.
