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.

358 years is an odd number

seven years from 358 will be 365 years.

Maybe something significant will happen to Silk in the 365th year, like
Enoch, who "was not".

Silk will be 365 years old, since he was an embryo when he joined the
whorl.
