DOORS: perhaps the last note thereon, this round

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 forgot to make the obvious point that a Siren's name is appropriate for
the lover of Billy the sea captain.

FWIW,

"Lara. A Naiad daughter of the River God Almo. Lara could not hold her
tongue and reported to Hera that Zeus loved Juturna. For this Zeus wrenched
from her the indiscreet tongue, and told Hermes to take her to Hades as she
was to become an infernal Nymph. In this way she became Tacita, The Silent
Goddess (Dea Muta). Lara consorted with Hermes and gave birth to the LARES,
twin brothers, who guard the crossroads and ever keep watch in the city."

I do like the way we get a link to Juturna and guardians of the crossroads,
but doubtul that it really means anything.
