contra Summa contra Marcus

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.

Doesn't the narrator tell Incanto and his dependents that creatures
bigger than a man live in the *bark* of trees on Green?  Unless he's
exaggerating for effect, I think they're a lot bigger than redwoods,
and a good argument for lower gravity (but not low enough that you
need to relearn how to walk).
