Oh, Max! Thank you, thank you! What a wonderful discovery! Oh, it's just like Rhuby said in another post:
the things I can learn here but never would have studied!
Not that I'm planning to learn Nu Shu (!), but the fact that
it exists is just amazing to me. What a testimony to the
determination of the human spirit. As was said in a Star
Trek episode, there is something in us that makes us resist subjugation with all our might, and these ancient women found, certainly not escape, but an easing of the bonds.

I thought it was interesting that people in the first link thought it was a hoax. That reminded me that I need to be more aware of that possibility, esp. when a certain
webmaster posts a sentence that looks like simply poor
English.

Thank you, ladymoon, for bringing this to our attention.
