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.

Hi All,

    <<* Who was the body in the tunnel?>>
    Isn't the body in the tunnels Titi?  This body is first=20
described as a man, then as a woman.  Hammerstone says it seemed
like a woman in man's clothes.  Later, Spider reveals one of his
spycatchers was named Titi, who had a talent for playing a woman.
    Regarding Vironese names:  Alga referred to me as "Keef" in one
of her posts.  Would this be an acceptable Vironese name?  My
dictionary defines "keef" as a preparation of hemp leaves (!).  If
this is acceptable, thanks Alga!

    Keith=20
