Prior Race On Blue And Green

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.

Sorry to say, but I HAD read that interview and that's why I say I'm not convinced. For example, the interviewer only asks about the Earth and Moon. What about Venus as Green? So that interview does not prove it is not the solar system. 
 
There's one interview where someone asks if the Green/Blue system is our own system and Wolfe replies that he "does not answer that kind of questions". This gives me the impresion that it may in fact be the solar system. Unfortunately I don't think this issue will ever be 100% cleared.
