Typhon's nature

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.

It seems to me Typhon's psionic talents are quite possible for humans in Briah, considering Mucor and Decuman.? We have no idea what enhancement and special training Typhon might have. Jerry Friedman

I don't have time to argue with you and Lee about this, so I hope we can agree to disagree.
