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.

Ratty, Mark Millman is surely right--you are thinking of fairies and
cold iron, and we ain't got none of those here. Inhumi have no
supernatural resistances or weaknesses; they are animals like us. (And
unlike a couple of other types of critters.)

Rostrum, IMO, is also right about Horn/Silk's eating problem, so evident
in IGJ; I posited the same observation (I point out delicately) several
times quite a while ago.

Welcome, James,

Richard Gere?

No, just kidding--it's yours!
