Saiyine sends word that the
mysterious code received at Fermilab, which we discussed last Friday, has been mostlydecoded, inside of two days, by two separate people. The poster at the second link seems to have constructed a more complete rationale for the message.

Woah, this is the last time I use the scribble paper from the pen section of the local stationery shop as a fax test sheet.

I don't understand the interest in this. It's just some code a person came up with. Why is decoding it so interesting? Why did Hillary climb Everest? She'll do anything to get a vote.

I read your message with interest. I think the most significant part is the missing 's' in source in point 1. I think this may be the extra 's' found in the original message which is causing so much confusion.
