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.

Agree. Factory on Urth. Parts can be stored on the Whorl but not manufactured, hence their 
scarcity.

I think something like that. She has been programmed to clean up black specks without the
experience to distinguish the ceiling from the sky. Like the old saying, when you are a 
hammer, everything looks like a nail.
