Cool. I was just trying to summarize the reasons a lot of people
think the code is encrypted in some fashion. Not necessarily my own views,
of course - but I will keep mine close to my chest until I transcribe the
document <grin>

Some words are repeated 3 or 4 times consequetively. >4) the words appear strange. some "sentences" are something like >"abcd abed abcde abce" well, i read on a website that it is maybe some phonetic representation of an asiatic language (and maybe crypted too). about 2 years ago i read a book about vietnam and it seems that in asia repeated words are used more frequent than in other countries. for example in vietnam they have a strange tradition not to give a person a unique name, because unique names will attract bad ghosts or something. so they have only about a dozen surnames in vietnam and also only a few forenames. so there will be about x thousand people in vietnam with the surname "nguyen". (for this name google finds 497.000 websites) maybe the repeated words in the document have something to do with this kind of things? :) kind regards, sebastian -- www.sinandsoul.com ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxx with a body saying: unsubscribe vms-list |
