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.

Hey, I take free license to simplify my posts for clarity, avoiding clutter and
ephemera but in my OP I did mention methanogens. I demand credit for that ;- ).

Anyway, my impression of the Old Wise One's description of the earthy roots of the 
Shadow Children was that a parasitic or at least detrivoric origin was being presented.
The lifestyle of the Shadow Children and Abos (esp. their poor tool use) supports the 
connection for me, as does the deteriorization of the human civilization on the twin
planets. 

I presume once the last humans (Number Five's family?) have been replaced and the buildings
and intrastructure of both planets has crumbled after a couple thousand years that the 
native beings will devolve back to root-dwelling organisms until they manage to call down
another starcrosser of some species or another.
