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.

Horn was only 35 years old or so at the beginning of OBW. While life
was hard on the frontier planet of Blue, resulting in Horn having the
tone of a crotchety old man, I don't think that by 35-40ish he could
have had white hair. Instead, the picture of him as balding is more
probable. Silk could have had white, long hair (in tBotLS we're told
his hair is fairly long), but even he would have been pretty young, so
life must have been really tough on the Whorl to make him look so
ancient before the age of 50.
