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.

You see that your theory IS complex to some degree in that even *I* have 
a hard to time keeping my terminology straight. And that of course you 
are right because you see Green as Urth's future.

The trees feed on human corpses and (in some ineffable way) spit out 
Neighbors and other animals. The lianas feed on Neighbors and in the 
same way sit out inhumi.

However, something occurs to me...if Horn is devoured by a tree in the 
same way humanity was, why was he resurrected after the Neighbor-Horn 
was created? You don't say  this happened to the rest of humanity was, 
do you?
