    AAAAHHHH! This week I received it from 20 different people. Only in CP, this is the 3rd repost! Even The Great CMTM have reposted it! This even have been Slashdoted! This is spreading fast, almost as fast as those get rich fast schemes! And all posts scramble the letters for increased effect... :-D You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

          The big question I have to ask. How does this affect people who suffer from dyslexia? Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

            Although this one seems to be a little different, some of the words are spelt incorrectly, having more letters than is required in some cases. Research for one. I prefer the theory, humans are so used to reading crap text messages on our phones that we have evolved to the next level of understanding... or should that be de-volved.

              No hsit. Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented? Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their worldline when they have no problem doing it themselves every day? John Titor.

                            If the original poster is correct about this being a Cambridge uni thing, try searching www.cam.ac.uk. Their search engine is reasonable, but I would imagine most of their pages are indexed in google anyway. You can find links to the various department pages from there though. The Cambrdige Computer Laboratory pages[^] are particularly good ;). -- Andrew.

                                  I had the same thought and apparently they can't be guaranteed to perceive the first and last letters in place so it doesn't help.
