Tracking names

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.

Oh, and it really would be fun to track those names. We need a Native
American dictionary and an Inuit one to start---anyone have access to a
university library? I don't, and the NY Public Library reading room is
closed for this year and the next. It seems unlikely that a branch library
would have such a thing---I'll check on the website.

Oh, rana, thank you for the poetry search. I thought the middle one might
be Milton too, with the "he" being either Adam or Satan in Paradise Lost.
No dice (and it took forever because PL hasn't yet been html'd). I'll
report if I find it.
