You prolly got good at it because of so many people on here asking what
those crpytic messages are saying.  Very few people can figure out what
they are trying to say.  Every once in a while, I get lucky and can
keyword a package or something and get past a blocker but sometimes, it
may as well spit out Greek characters. 

What gets me on this one, it really didn't give a clue what the real
problem is.  If it did, I missed it. 

I just wonder, is there some way they can make emerge spit out something
that makes sense or is that something that can not be done?
