Thanks for the clarification, Terry. Given the context, my first guess would have been "no message" except for the fact that, well, you (had to) put in a message. Mystery solved.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
