Marble on Urth

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 also agree. I think also that when you look up from the field against
the sun the transport, as usually an object against the Sun seems much
darker. What seems to me strange - sun-drenched field, if the Sun was
already red. Maybe it wasn't. Did it became red so quick?

finally that GW does not pay too much attention to technical details.
