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.

Sorry, I had that backwards. Kansas is in sepia.

Pig mentions that he went to Silk's place and didn't find him=20
there. I regard this as evidence that he didn't kill Hyacinth=20
-- and besides, I don't think his rider would have permitted it.

If one wanted to say someone had killed Hyacinth, one could=20
suppose it was the Gaonese led by Hari Mau, who came out to
Endroad looking for Silk and didn't find him; however, I would
be inclined to suspect that they didn't find him because they
arrived after Horn's spirit entered Silk's body and the newly
formed Narrator left the building. At this point, I think=20
Hyacinth just died, and Silk gashes himself in grief.
