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.

Uh, make that "moving =3Dagainst=3D the direction of rotation rather than
with it."  That is, if I understand it correctly, the rotation is from
south to north, so that when one drives to the south one is subtracting
from the very velocity vector that provides the simulated gravity.
