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.

James, like Spring Wind, Fish and Frog are surely mythic names. If Spring Wind= Typhon, 
who might Fish and Frog refer to? In the Long Sun story Vironese nomenclature offers a
nice vehicle. Are there any characters with names that invoke amphibians?

On a perhaps unrelated topic, Remora is a kind of fish. Sort of a icky kind which latches
onto larger fish and other large sea creatures with a suction cup, feeding on the leftovers
of the meals of the larger creatures. I always got the impression this aspect was important
in the naming of this character.
