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.

Interestingly enough "Silhouette", published the same year, has this
quote"...Pleasureworld.  That was the first leisure satellite, and because
they didn't know what to do with that kind of thing then, they made soil of
the guests' excretions and garbage, and planted trees.  Without gravity
they grew like a tangle of yarn, of course, like ours in the hydroponic
module"

So the strange trees Cutthroat explains might be showing some of this low
gravity effect which was obviously on Wolfe's mind at about that time.
