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.

What exactly happened with Merryn and the dog? What was that all about? 2. Who are "the little men on the bridge" and "the black gang" (p. 336). 3. Are we to believe that Horn/Silk is Malrubius? 4. Who is the man in the cloak on Green? (p. 191) 5. There has previously been a suggestion that maybe Horn/Silk was an inhumi. It has been noted that one feature of inhumi is that they don't eat much. On p. 361, it is said of Horn/Silk: "sometimes it seemed like he was just pretending to eat and drink, and this was one of them." Wow! This is a Gene Wolfe red flare signal of something isn't it? --part1_be.fce7b22.27b53cf1_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>1.
