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.

**The creature actually killed in the story was a butterfly, hence 
the name "the crushed butterfly theory."  

In Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn Trilogy, he gives us a future where earth is 
enviromentally blasted by overpopulation and pollution.  People have had to 
retreat to protective arcologies (Shades of William Gibson and Paolo 
Solarie!)  

The storms that rage around the planet are called "armada storms"  One Earth 
dweller gives the derivation as coming from chaos theory.  "If a butterfly 
flapping its wings in China can create a hurricane off Florida, what could an 
armada of butterflies accomplish?"

I did feel a twinge of recognition, though when I read that bit in Hamilton.  
Obviously, the man knows his Bradbury 

Pippen
