VMs: New / old theory

["Petr Kazil" <kazil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Remember the article about the VMS in the Dutch teenage-science magazine
"Kijk"? (May 2002)
They've posted a letter from a reader who has his own theory. I don't think
it's a valid theory, but it's funny anyway. Rough translation follows:

My compliments for the article on the VMS. I was busy with it for some time,
but if you look at the pages differently you see symbols that look like our
current alphabet. They have a characteristic thick beginning followed by a
thin curve and then a thick ending.  Like if you're doing calligraphy! The
letter combinaton e-s-o-g is found remarkably often in the text sometimes
preceded or followed by a decorative symbol. When we had typing lessons in
our school we had to practice by repeating the same character sequences over
and over again. Could this be a writing exercise-book, used by several
different persons? And freely decorated by the some teenagers with
over-active hormones? Or will I now get the 2002 Nobel prize for Nonsense? -
