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.

1)  Where were these?  I do not recall them.

2)  (on a different subject) Does anyone on the list recall the Dr Dolittle
stories?

I have some tantalising scraps of memory.

If I remember the Doctor flies from the Earth to the Moon on a giant moth,
and I think there are gigantic trees on the Moon.

Is this a possible source for some of Wolfe's ideas about Green , Lune, or
Green/Lune?
