Civilized War in Spain
Someone claiming to be George F. Kennan (ke*******@st***.gov) has emailed me, subject: “A civilized war in Spain will anticipate changes globally.”
The contents of said message, in its entirety:
I have no idea what this is supposed to be. Certainly, the downs don’t work as Scrabble words. And, while there could conceivably be a George F. Kennan employed by the State Department — oh, but the teasing he’d receive! — THE George F. Kennan, he of “X” article fame, passed on five years ago.
Presumably, this is some sort of spam message. But damned if I know what its purpose is.
It’s also impossible with a conventional English language Scrabble set–the letter frequency is wrong, for one thing.
Might it be a reference to the Spanish Civil War before World War II?
Is this related to the rain in Spain falling mainly on the plain?
