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.

amen.  no, no independent comfirmation of hybridization. I just think the theme of homecoming being impossible with time is prevalent in the text (the golden time with Seawrack, things are never the same as they were from Horn's musings in OBW) (horn can't return, silk can't go back with Hy, men can't return even in the future of their world) only the comment, "I like the spruce and the staff, too." from Gene.  That's it.  

But yes, the hybridization is super key for instant speciation and MY understanding of how Green can be Urth, without it and the weird properties of trees "I got nothing".  (Green feels more young than new, but jungle as eden is somewhat interesting)

I wanted to thank everyone for this last round of analysis, James, Gerry, Lee, everyone, for finally having some discussion without the inherent "you are using those quotes wrong" hostility this topic always summons.  Thanks, I appreciate it.
