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 guess we could cope with less gravity than we?re used to, and any decent amount of gravity would probably be enough to prevent the more serious medical issues associated with weightlessness.  
But we?d *notice* a change.  It?s not just our own weight ? arrows would fly differently (and there are hunters on Green).  Objects would fall differently.  If you ever played ball games you couldn?t miss it.
