Losing Imitation

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.

He also said Urth = Green, and look at the trouble THAT'S caused!

As you say, he made some comment to that effect.  But the book indicates 
otherwise, so I tend to believe he misspoke, though I guess theories about 
two groups of abos are tenable if one has some reason for believing that.
