    Apung, don't feel bad. There are plenty of people who've been trying to figure it out for years - it hasn't just gone ignored.
    But, feel free to try and figure it out... more brains are always helpful.

    the city I talk to when I talk to nobody, the city that dictates these insomniac words...

    For those of you wondering, in the previous post of this thread, "MZD" posted:

    ....taking this in reverse, we find:

    (er...someone may wanna check that). Either way...in this in can pick out:
    "We"
    "roots" (what Navidson was trying to capture in his original doc.?)
    "perty"
    "Slap"

    ...i think i'm wrong.

    If you think you're wrong, you should go back over your post a couple times.

    take the words backwards and you get:

    too my love cap.
    rofl.
    er maybe take out cap.

    and with the other one[backwards and all]
    taking the words backwards doesnt make any sence.
    =/

    hope this is of some help.

    I guess ths is one of the last mysteries of HoL (if not he last one). It would be great if someone could figure it out before September. Go Apung!

    Er...could someone please inform me: was that random scrambling of letters found somewhere in the book? If so, where? or was that something that "MZD" posted?

    PS - heh...i think there's more "great mysteries" about HoL...maybe we just haven't found them yet..or maybe you're right! Who knows, eh? (Well...MZD, but..ya know)

    Those were the first letters of the words from the Sept 19 letter. You were working on that without knowing where it came from, Apung?

    Usually if someone quotes a "post" by MZD, it means they're pulling something from HoL.

    9+1+9+1+9+8+8 = 45
    4+5 = 9
    or 45 - 9 (if you don't count the september 9) = 36
    3+6=9

    Maybe a refrence to the entry of May 4, 1998 (pg. 503 in HoL)?
