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.

Almost, your passion convinces me.

There is a bit in the BOTNS where S is walking among the great trees in his
way to the north, and he wonders whether the whole world was made of trees:
trees growing in the void, clinging on to each other and forming a larger
and larger mass till it becomes a planet.

Can't find the quote, though.
