This is what the body actually said
According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Come on Sig 45 don't get this locked or deleted too.
My guess, they have had so much SPAM lately, that at first glance they didn't see the actual message.

You have to understand that a lot of the spam messages we get look exactly like that. So without any further reference...just a bunch of what could appear to be random letters and a link, with general subject....gone. Had you given a bit of info before hand, it would have identified it as a "interesting challenge" and experiment on how the mind works.
But it looked, at quick glance, like spam...at least that is what I would predict happened.

Thanks -- This was the second post in the Aquarium that got deleted in a row. The other one I didn't challenge, as someone may have used the Triangle and didn't like the picture or understand what it was really illustrating. However, this one was pretty benign..
If I were a paranoid person, I would think there is a MOD after me - LOL
Thanks again for responding!
