VMs: Re: 67v: Single sticks, double-split, double-joined...

["JH" <haleyj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Luis

I seem to remember that it is not only this page that has such
a decorated border. I have seen something very similar online
and have had a nagging feeling about it for a quite a while now.
Unfortunately I didn't record the url at the time.

Whether or not this actually signifies anything other than
decoration is anyone's guess. To my mind it probably does not.
