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.

Antonio Pedro Marques: I suppose 'macaque' would be too far off to be usable.

Heh! Too specific actually. There is broad ranging monkey group called macaques
which must be distinguished from other monkey groups like langurs and vervets and
of course the New World monkeys which have prehensile tails.

A US politician recently lost his election for publically calling a person of Indian ethnicity
a "maccaca".

Anyway, mention of macaques are good in my book, since the one called the barbary ape is Inuus
sylvanus which has connections to both BotNS (Inire) and Long/Short Sun (Silver Silk).
