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.

I alluded to this when I finally got through reading Blue's Waters:

doesn't Horn state that he included details in his previous work (the
short sun) that were of a technical nature so that the book could also
have practical value as an engineering text?=20

That may go a way towards explaining why the tallus passage is so
extended. But I like your suggestion too.
