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.

I don't think it's necessary to assume that the Council (as we might as
well call them) stole Horn's paper to stop him from publishing more copies
of _The Book of Silk_. Paper is a valuable commodity--Horn is doing quite
well for himself--and would be an obvious target for any thief. If they
were really interested in supressing Horn, they'd have taken and destroyed
his personal copy of _The Book_.=20
