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 find it an impolite question, but I'm not sure GW would give a wrong 
reply tout court. Notice that Blue is too big to be Lune, so Blue+Green 
can well be P+Urth, where P is anything but Lune or Urth - it can be 
Mars or some rogue planet drawn by the WF, or something else related or 
unrelated to the WF. In fact I find the idea of an unknown planet drawn 
by the WF interesting.
