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.

Okay, I'm going to disagree with myself as well. Krait's secret probably
isn't the inhumation (thanks, Dave). Though I still marvel at the ingenuity
of Horn's strategy and wonder how he could have figured it out. The secret
is one of those things that Wolfe isn't going to let us know for quite some
time, I would guess now.

Horn's mind in Silk's body---hmmm. That's distinctly possible, and a real
leap. I'm sure we're not supposed to suspect that yet!

I hadn't picked up that the Neighbors also have four arms; I'd seen them as
centaurs. But now I'm just starting over again. Wrt double limbs, how come
Seawrack hasn't got 'em? Some sort of proof that she's not native? I still
like Mom as an undine.
