the elephant in the room

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 extremely helpful -- much more comprehensive than anything
I've found in the archives.  I hope the wiki project goes forward,
because I think its value to Wolfe's readers -- a community unrivaled
in their need to reread, puzzle, research and discuss -- would be very
great.

Who is the "river-man" that Latro meets in the very first chapter of Mist?
