Subject: VMS: transliteration question (and a *novel* theory)

<snip>

*Novel* theory coming up!

In fact, I quite like the EVA haystack. In it, the opening word of
the VMS is: fachys. Well, the VMS was discovered near Rome, wasn't it?
In 1912 wasn't it? The dates are about right. Mussolini wrote it!
(He misspelt "fascista" on purpose? Or just plain couldn't spell? Take
your pick!). I am sure that Mussolini was educated by the Jesuits
in Mondragone. They confiscated his "Mein Kampf" and just forgot
about it. If not Mussolini, then someone else.
