What's So Great About Ushas

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.

After further cogitation, it has occurred to me that the Botanical 
Gardens are the Yesodi evacution plan for Urth.  A fairly feeble one, 
but I realized they *are* resource limited, in fact VERY limited if you 
consider the machine planet, perhaps as big as a solar system, is split 
up into fairly small sections, each devoted to the salvation of an 
entire galaxy.
