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.

This is Sean Whalen (prion).

When I looked back over the archives, I found some comparisons of Silk
to Moses, but I don't think the similarity of Silk fighting Blood to
Moses and the magician was mentioned.  Silk has a staff that is also a
sword, and Blood uses an Azoth.  Silk wins and kills Blood.  This was
at the end of _Calde of the Long Sun_.

As the staff is also a sword, so was the stick also a snake.
