We’ve discussed the brackets before. They are ALWAYS a “kill” box but likely represent the target being boxed-in, held back or sequestered.

I have read your recent comments about the brackets with great interest.... but I don’t recall participating in or reading a discussion where I saw the reasoning which was convincing to me that the kill boxes are “ALWAYS” representing a target being boxed-in, held back, or sequestered. It is entirely possible that I missed such a discussion, because of various periods of computer or local server issues that have caused me to miss following some threads several times over this past year.
It makes sense that the kill boxes would at least MOSTLY indicate a bound condition, but even if I concede for the sake of argument that it is “ALWAYS” true, I am not seeing how that negates the possibility of sub messages being conveyed with the brackets along with the bracketed items conveying the “bound” concept. Because from my perspective, I believe I’m seeing them! But who knows.....I’m willing to entertain the idea that maybe I’m not.
After all, there is a very beloved Jimmy Stewart movie in which the character he played, Elwood P. Dowd, had no doubt at all that he was seeing a giant bunny named Harvey.
I guess we’ll find out at the end of the movie if I’m a bunny see-er or not! LOL!

I agree with Texokie. I'm remembering drops earlier in the year where messages were deciphered from within brackets (kill boxes.) I think at the time only 1-2 letters in a word were bracketed, don't think it was entire words or names. I could be wrong.
