Ashton:

        Mr. Hance should have received (mailed) information as to the
non-random nature of what you are (lightly) reading.  Ask him.  The modus
operandi applies to both what you perceive
(to be) random--and to a point raised by one "Carlos" in Sweden.  Mr. Hance
should have all pertinent details.  Some degree of inference is required.

Comments:
I'm asking ashton to send me the headers on the original email, for the headers. It looks like whoever sent this did it from some service called NeoPlanet - I checked out their web site and it looks like some sort of browser client... hmm. Dont know if this means email from afar or just more BS.

A quick dig on ERKLAREN.com, (german for "explain")though, shows us we've got more australia traffic. What the hell??

Bayesian statistics:
Way over my head, although the circle-quartered-by-a-cross symbol seems to be part of the set of notations for Bayesian mathematics.

Slight info...
