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.

Suggestion for the secret of the inhumi:

Everyone's been focusing on a change in human conduct as the secret that ca=
n=20
destroy the inhumi.  To me, the most easily accomplishable and plausible=20
weapon that humans could have against the inhumi would be the ingestion of=20
some substance.  Since the inhumi drink human blood and appear to derive=20
their personalities from the blood they drink, there may be something that=20
humans can drink or eat that will impact the inhumi negatively.  This is pu=
re=20
speculation . . . I have no supporting text to cite.
