[Fwd: The boatanchor symbol]

[Keith Rowland]

Bruce et al:

Since the opportunities for a classical education are virtually extinct here in the Colonies, I wonder if one of the more
erudite among us could translate the Latin contained in the message from GM8APX?  (Laborant montes, parturiant haec mus.)

Of course, in ancient Rome, it would have been written thus:

LABORANTMONTESPARTURIANTHAECMUS

Just curious!

73,

Keith
