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.

Hi,

I was just wondering if it could be possible that
the kids *did* write those sections - but, in fact,
not as stylishly as we're reading them. and the reason
they're as stylish as we're reading them is becuase
the story of Horn has turned into a religious text,
and has been "intepreted" over the years by better
writers? (Though, I guess not a good explanation for
Pig's h'ears.)
