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.

Two other odds and ends:

1. Someone in the past asked about the Neighbor named Horn. I assumed that=20
the Neighbor was honoring Horn by taking Horn's name as his own.

2. Which brings up another point that I don't recall seeing discussed. Horn=20
says that the Neighbors have a weird sense of humor, as he found out=20
repeatedly. Now, that would seem to be a CLUE about later events, but what=20
events? My first guess is the various astral projections, which is=20
something we know that Neighbors do, and which Horn becomes able to do. But=20
only with an inhumu/a present (?). Which brings up the question of whether=20
Neighbors and Inhumi are the "same" somehow. Are the inhumi, in fact, a=20
Huge Joke of the Neighbors?
