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.

This is Sean Whalen (prion).

Murtagon.  All I could find fitting this is martagon, also mortegon,
martagan, and martigon.  With all those alternative spellings, it's
probable that murtagon exists, too.  It's also called the red-cap
lily, turk's-cap lily, and the turk's cap (Lilium martagon or Lilium
superbum).  Martagon is also Spanish for cunning, artful, clever.=20
Murtagon is a famous artist. The red cap reminds me of the
stereotypical artist's beret.
