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).

Grison.  French for grey.  Any species of genus Grison, especially
Grison vittatus.  Apparently this genus and its species have recently
been renamed, and the genus is now Galictis.  The name vittatus has
become vittata. It is related to the zoril.  It looks like a cross
between a weasel and an otter with a black upper front, a white area
wrapped around its head and neck, and the rest greyish.  It is agile,
climbs and swims well, makes dens out of burrows, and is often
domesticated but is harmful to domestic fowl even then.  Blood's
driver who is chauffeuring him when he meets Silk for the first time.

I'm just about done with all the characters, but since there is no
character list in the first book and I don't have time to reread it,
could someone with a complete list post the names I haven't found yet?
 Did mantis say that he had made such a list?  Thanks.
