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.

Forgive me for being dense (and not fully following this thread) but are you saying
Lemur is, in some fashion, Typhon?

Might as well wonder at this point why Wolfe picks all pro-simian names for the 
Ayuntamiento. Pre- or early monkey/apes? How does this relate to monkey types
back on Urth?

Baum's Oz series, you mean?
