More on Frog and Fish & Ymar

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.

There aren't any scholars. There is author. A very good one. He's shown 
his skill with this sort of thing in the other two names. There's none 
of that skill on display in your interpretation of the name or story.
