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.

these discussions come at such an important time, as I
am just finishing RttW. These answer nagging questions
before I had to ask!

as for Horn-as-inhumu, consider Oreb; he seems to ken
outright any inhumu present, and can't keep it to
himself. Would this little inhumu alarm continue to
stay with Horn/Silk just out of loyalty? he seems only
compelled to stay around known inhumu when ordered to,
and then only barely.

Horn-as-inhumu DOES make a lot of sense when one
considers the transformation that takes place over the
scope of the SS books, and the eating-very-little ties
right in, but I can't recall the intimation that his
imitation could be so good as to fool Oreb.
