Sev's Dream QUOTATION

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.

Oh bugger!     Looks like the brush was a bush after all.  :(   I just
pray there isn't a typo in there.  :)

But then: "that engendered life in whatever objects it fell upon" leaves me
wondering
would the bush be dead (hence brown) as a plucked leaf might be?

Oh, and "might be" because a plucked leaf might someimes grow, vegetative
propagation.
