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.

Stephen Case: you have presented the best & most coherent argument=20
for the "Silk commits suicide theory" I have ever encountered --=20
others may have expressed it before, but if they did it well enough=20
for me to understand, I must have missed it (which is quite possible;=20
I skim a lot of email when I'm busy).

I'm about a third through rereading RTTW now & will watch this
carefully.

BTW, I'm afraid I have to back down on my support for the theory
that Horn leaves the Silk body at the end of OBW. The process of
Horn's receding and Silk's emerging may _begin_ there, but it's
a gradual process: when Horn and Hide first astrally travel together
to Green, Hide remarks that the Narrator looks a lot more like Horn
than he does in Blanko. When they travel together to Urth in IGJ,=20
he says that the resemblance is markedly less.=20
