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.

He certainly missed the sentence "When I had first come to realize, as a boy, that the green circle of the moon was in fact a sort of island hung in the sky, whose color derived from 
forests, now immemorially old, planted in the earliest days of the race 
of Man, I had formed an intention of going there..."? SotL, Ch. XIII.

>I highly doubt Cook actually read BOTNS. He seems to have barely skimmed, picked a few elements, and gone nuts. Seriously, how can you miss the etymological root of "Lune"? Makes me think he didn't read enough to see it mentioned.
