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.

Just in case anyone still wants this:

UOTNS chapter 10 (p. 73 in Orb paperback edition):

''The heterochthonous worlds must by this time have reshaped humanity
to conform to their own spheres. On Urth, the mystes know that each
continent has its own pattern for mankind, so that if people from one
shift their abode to another,  they will in a short time - fifty
generations or so - come to resemble the original inhabitants. The
patterns of other worlds must be yet more distinct; and yet the human
race would remain human still, I think.'
