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.

Yes, that's my understanding.  I think it's clear that since the two planet=
s tug
on each other so hard when they get close together, this is an unstable
arrangement.  It can't stay this way for long, and it can't have been this =
way for
long.  Maybe it has only been this way since the White Fountain came cruisi=
ng in
and disrupted what was a two planet system.
