1. CHRISTMASS
THIS IS A WORD, AMONG MANY THAT HE MIS-SPELLS SEVERAL TIMES EVEN IN IT'S CONTRACTION FORM AS XMASS.
THERE ARE THOSE WHO MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS DELIBERATE, INTENDED TO THROW THE POLICE OFF HIS TRACK BUT I WHOLEHEARTEDLY DISAGREE.
IF ONE WANTED TO THROW THE POLICE OFF YOUR TRACK YOU WOULD MORE LIKELY PREFER TO THROW THEM OFF YOUR HANDWRITING STYLE, RATHER THAN GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION AND SPELLING AS THESE CHARACTERISTICS DO LITTLE TO IDENTIFY A WRITER WHILE HANDWRITING STYLE DOES.
2. "MORE FUN THAN KILLING WILD GAME IN THE FORREST"
SUPERFICIALLY THERE IS LITTLE WRONG WITH THIS STATEMENT BUT ANYONE WHO DOES IN FACT HUNT WOULD RECOGNIZE HOW 'WOODEN' THESE WORDS SOUND.
I BELIEVE HE IS PROFFICIENT WITH FIREARMS AS IS EVIDENCED MANY TIMES...BUT NOT FROM HUNTING.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH...HE DOESN'T TALK LIKE A HUNTER BUT RATHER AS IF HE READ THAT OUT OF A 1966 BOY'S ANNUAL.
3. ROCKS OFF WITH A GIRL
THIS IS AN UNUSUAL WAY TO PHRASE A COMMENT ABOUT SEX.
WHILE GETTING YOUR "ROCKS OFF" ITSELF IS A COMMON SAYING, IT SEEMS ODDLY REDUNDANT TO ADD..."WITH A GIRL".....AFTER ALL, IS THERE ANY OTHER LIKELY GENDER CHOICE....UNLESS YOU ARE GAY OR CELIBATE?
I BELIEVE THIS CHOICE OF WORDING INDICATED THE WRITER IS EITHER GAY OR CELIBATE / NEARLY CELIBATE...AND PERHAPS NOT ENTIRELY BY CHOICE.
4. THERE IS A MULTIPLICITY OF MEDIUMS IN THE CODE MANUFACTURE ITSELF AND THEY ARE IN THEMSELVES INTERESTING.
THERE ARE LETTERS FROM OUR WESTERN ALPHABET IN UPPER CASE NORMAL AND REVERSED.
THERE ARE SYMBOLS AS MIGHT BE FOUND ON A TYPEWRITER.
THERE ARE GREEK STYLE LETTERS.
THERE ARE SEMIPHORE SYMBOLS.
AND THERE ARE ASTROLOGICAL SYMBOLS AS WELL AS SOME "HOME-MADE DESIGNS.
THIS IS NOT AN UNIMAGINATIVE PERSON AND THE CODE WAS WELL DESIGNED AND WELL EXECUTED AND APART FROM A FEW MINOR ERRORS IS NEARLY PERFECT.
NONTHELESS IT IS DECIDEDLY NOT A TRULY SOPHISTICATED CIPHER BUT RATHER A WELL-MADE LETTER SUBSTITUTION TYPE.
THE USE OF SUCH AN ELABORATE CODE INDICATES TO ME THAT HE CERTAINLY HAD A STRONG INTEREST IN CODES AND MIGHT WELL HAVE SOME BACKGROUND IN CODES...SUCH AS MILITARY SERVICE.
ULTIMATELY WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT HE IS AN OBSESSIVE PERSONALITY WITH A MISSION TO PROVE HE IS SMARTER THAN THE POLICE. PROBABLY AS WELL, HE IS A VIRGIN OR CLOSE TO BEING ONE .
