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.

Well, I have proposed that the vanished people sprang up from the dust,=20
literally.  And our creation story has something to do with a big tree, too=
.=20
(but not in the same way - that tree is merely resononsible for our spiritu=
al=20
and mental birth). The comment seems like a narrative aside that should be=20
questioned: it can "scarcely" be the same one - sounds almost ironic. =20
The second case: of course the constellations are different: we are talking=20
about thousands of years of movement through space, possibly millions. (the=20
constellations move as we do)  Hey, if he can see the light from the red su=
n,=20
why can't he see at least some of the same constellations, huh?!  Doesn't h=
e=20
know where it is? =20
Also, we know that Nessus is in the southern hemisphere.  Any chance Horn i=
s=20
used to the northern one? Probably not if I want to keep that big wall=20
undersater as the future fate of Nessus' wall.
