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.

"looked across a benighted plain of naked rock."

"The somber plain was pitted like the cheeks of a child who had survived the
pox, and far more parren tha tne sheer clifss of the Pilgrims' Way; no tree,
no flower, no least wed or dot of moss sprouted from its rock."

"The plain of rock had blanched unwatfched, and was streaked with sable...."



So, we have a plain of benighted rock which is pitted like a pox survivor.
Sounds like an asteroid to me.
