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.

Lemur.  Latin for ghost, spirit.  The lemur was given this name
because it is nocturnal.  The animal is any species of family
Lemuridae, especially the members of the genus Lemur.  The look like a
cross between a monkey and a mouse or cat.  They live mostly in trees,
are agile climbers, and have long tails.  They also have very large
eyes.  In many species the females are dominant.  Secretary of the
Ayuntamiento.  Lemur is dead, the chemical person he programmed with
his personality is fulfilling his duties and plans.  This chem is like
the Latin lemur because it's his spirit, his ghost because he's dead.=20
It glows in the dark and does supernatural things.  The lemur is one
of the least-advanced primates, so this is not complementary to Lemur.
 Though lemur females are dominant, Lemur seems to have no respect for
females at all.

family Viverridae (the civet family), especially the banded linsang
(Prionodon linsang).  Look like a cross between a cat and a weasel.=20
