Thumbs up

THANKS FOR ADDING THIS EXAMPLE. I SUSPECT THIS WRITING IS RANDOM AS FAR AS WE CAN DETERMINE. IT MAY HAVE HAD SOME MEANING TO THE ONE WHO WROTE IT BUT IT APPEARS IT IS NOT WRITTEN IN PROPER ENGLISH SEQUENCE OR ALL LETTERS RIGHT SIDE UP. IT MAY JUST BE HIM SHOWING HIS KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO MAKE LETTERS NO DOUBT HIS FAVORITE ONES OR THE ONES HE COULD DO BEST. GIVEN ALL THAT HE WRITES MUCH BETTER ENGLISH THAN I COULD WRITE IN SAMOAN.
