Well, yes, it turned out that hieroglyphs had semantics, and nobody doubts that Linear A has semantics too. The Phaistos Disc, though, is an open question: maybe it's just a board game and not a text at all. GMail doesn't have rotating .sigs, but you can see mine at http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/signatures
