Cumaean???

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.

The point we are making with the moon is not mute because we are considering that it may be either Green or Blue (depending on the theory accepted), so we are considering two celestial bodies with atmospheres, not with the present Earth-Moon system.
