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.

Nice analysis, Adam.

One other thing, if the accounts of Silk's psyche being present in the
Narrator are in doubt due to Hide&co's authorship, then all the alleged
textual clues that Silver Silk entered Silk's body are equally in doubt. It
is not fair to accept the third person authors' account as valid for the
references for the theory you like, and then reject every clue to the
contrary based on their unreliability.
