Red Sun (branch from Geen Urth Redux)

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.

Nights will be darker, too. The full Lune will have less sunlight to
reflect, and will reflect less of it (trees' leaves are there to
absorb sunlight, after all) than the silvery-white Moon of Earth.
