those darned ambiguities

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 also thought it was just Mucor possessing the fish at first--although
Horn, who knows about Mucor, ignores this possibility, and there are the
mysterious references to someone else on the island.  Babbie, Mother,
and Seawrack have all been proposed, and I think a Neighbor is another
possibility (the weird hints with Remora, etc.)

MAYBE it was just Mucor (or have we been told she can only possess humans?)
but something fishy is definitely going on in this bit.  Pun intended.
