Recent human crash-landing on St Anne

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.

I think this could be a very good accounting for how the tree-ring 
dating theory, while sound, may be a misdirection. We know an extant 
ring is a century old; we can also guess that it could survive to be 300 
or 500 if it had been left alone. There don't need to be much more than 
20 such to cover 10,000 years of "observation."

Another pro of this explanation is that these rings are called 
observatories, which makes us think of Stonehenge, which is a couple 
thousand years old, and which is stone. Whereas stone can survive, trees 
can't, but if anything, that implies they are older still, not younger.

The Wolfean narrative principle employed here seems to be implied 
repetition to hide/reveal vast stretches of time.
