Clute's review of IGJ

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.

delurking - well, I have been wondering about that.
Horn goes on and on to Hide about how to detect
Inhumu - make-up, scales, lack of eating. And near
to this point, Horn repeatedly talks about his
lack of eating. Also, perhaps the "suicide" scene
with who we presume to be Silk is actually a scene
with an Inhumu who has fed on Silk (blood everywhere)
and has part of Silk's essense, and Horn is
transported into the Silk/Inhumu body.

But no one ever comments on Horn's appearance (wrt
the other warning signs of an inhumu). I also
cannot remmeber temperature conversations - that would
be another telling point.
