RE: VMs: RE: Time to get hands dirty

["John Grove" <John@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure the full details can be found in the archives, but one of the
better reasons is
that he randomly selected from zero to three vowels for any given consonant
to make his
context fit, and thus no one else could possibly come up with the same
reading of the text
on their own. There were no consistent rules to applying vowels to the
consonants - one makes
it up as one goes. Anyway, the archives should have all the points that make
his 'solution'
one of the many attempts at forcing the manuscript to mold to an idea of the
inventor of the
solution.

This is an old thread that doesn't need to be re-discussed in my opinion.
John seriously believes
in his solution, as I'm sure others did in theirs (newbold, brumbaugh,
strong, etc...). Until
somebody else can duplicate the solution on their own and account for all
the words with a set of
'rules', I doubt anyone will buy into the hypothetical solution.

John.

Ahh there it is...
Well, John evidentially believes in his work as his page is still up. Tell
me, what were the reasons it was "wrong?"
