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.

Well I have just seen an advertisement for the ballet _Ondine_, the tale 
of a water nymph who is the object of desire of a young prince named 
Palemon.  Presumably the name Palemon was chosen by the writers of the 
ballet (it is not the same as in the novella) because of the watery 
associations.  How about Juturna x Palaemon -> Baldanders ;)  The point of 
undines is they often choose or are obliged to marry a mortal man and have 
one child with him.

Cheers, David Duffy.
