Green's Cover

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.

Not only is the cover illustration for IGJ aesthetically displeasing, it
has several details wrong.  Horn never has a staff on Green.  And he
didn't have long white hair when he met the Neighbor on Green (he was
still in his original body then).
