Subject: garbled nonsense

Friends, I often wonder why some messages do come out as garbled nonsense.
I think at some point someone on here explained why (no doubt one of the young people).  Of course academics are already pretty skilled at delivering garbled nonsense;  so we rarely need mechanized help.  But how/why does that happen -- and how to fix??

just wondering as the rain pours down here in STL, --hb
