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.

Hmm.  Just had to comment on this Lucius/Lycius thing one more time.  Lucius means bringer of light, Lycius is the name of the wolfly aspect of Apollo.  So in Greek these names would be indistinguishable, but they are different names in Latin, right?

But Latro was actually writing in primitive Latin, right?
