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.

I agree Babbie is an odd element from beginning to end. Why do you find

his species name unlike other indigenous species? Because it seems like

a Whorl-Urth based name? Could this simply reflect domestication?

I also think Mucor's intention for Babbie is meant to be seen as important.

I have my own ideas but what do you think it is?
