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.

Because in Blue most of the people we meet live by the sea, and in Green they all live in the jungle.
Also, of course, the names of the planets indicate that they must have significant coloration appropriate to their names.
I think Green probably has some oceans (a human-inhabitable non-terraformed planet probably has to, although that has never restrained the imagination of SF writers).  But we never go there.
