Since the IPG algorithm is impregnable, obviously no individual, or collection of individuals, from said Universities, the Cypherpunks, or the Coderpunks has been able to crack the system.

Look,

do you seriously think that university researchers, professors and data security consultants have nothing better to do with their time than look at your pathetic collection of cryptographic stocking fillers.

Several of them are. And if I am to believe your private postings of the past, you have tried but failed, and are thusly understandably frustrated.

I thought you had finally gone away when I saw no posts from you for about a week. I am depressed beyond belief to see you have returned to interrupt the flow of discussion.... Leave and never return...

Sorry about that old chap, but the last Englishmen that had the power to command us here in the States was George III, and he was a mad ignorant lunatic Englishman like you. I am not as adept at telling you off as AGA, but obviously you insignificant English pawns think that that you still rule the world. In your ignorance, you are not aware but here in the United States we have certain rights, that you parasites, not all but those like you, in the United Kingdom can no longer deprive us of. Try reading Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and hundreds of others. We are no longer yours to command, Dei Gratita. Break my system and I will gladly crawl back into the hole that you somehow think I have emerged from. Until that time, which thus obviously means forever, or at least without definable limits, you may expect me to continue to make postings as I may see fit, or respond to your senseless jabberwocky. You and some of the other cypherpunks, coderpunks are cryptographic quacks, you read Shannon and Schenier, and hang out shingle as a cryptographic expert, when you have no knowledge of the subject whatsoever. You need to be exposed as the quack you are. Of course, the real problem is that you, cannot break my system, you are clueless about how to do that and you know it. You have never broken any significant crypto system and you never will because you do not know how. You are a great pretentious turkey, that flaps his wings and spreads all kinds of crappy gobbledegook because that is all they know how to do. Every forum like this has their flocks of those turkeys, like you, because it puffs up their hyperdeflated ego. As to your other postings alleging a break, you know that is not true. You, John and Adam posted a bunch of crap. Even Perry, has given up trying to perpetuate that factoid. Even the alleged break was not a system break, it might have been used to break an individual messages, or some messages but that was not the algorithm and you know it. You are a practioner of Gimcrackery and everyone knows it, including you. There are a lot of serious professional people on the Cypherpunks and Coderpunks lists, but you are certainly not among them. With respect to you and a few others, I might paraphrase one of your own, one who I respect enormously as does most other Americans, that being Winston Churchill. Paraphrasing Sir Winston, "Never have so few, said so much and thought they had done so much, when in fact they had said nothing and done nothing except to splutter baneful balderdash." You individually, and as a member of the crytographic claque, have done enough unwarranted inbongis to remind me of Rousseau words: "The less reasonable a cult is, the more men seek to establish it by force." Or better still and more succinct, another of your own, Sir Alfred North Whitehead, another Englishman that I admire, who said: "There is no greater hinderance to the progress of thought than an attitude of irritated party-spirit." Read the postings made in response to my postings. From the beginning, they have invoked an irritated party-spirit, fortunately not of the many but only the few of the lunatic fringe of the Cypherpunks - Coderpunks, like you. Another Englishmen, Alexander Pope in verse said it well too: "The ruling passion, be it what it will The ruling passion conquers reason still." Your, and the lunatic fringe's ruling passion that you know it all, that you are right and that makes it right is more of your Delphic Neanderthal thinking. "Sans doubte," your need for rinforzando dictums is obviously results from the fact that you are absolutely illuminiferous.

I truly have never hear anyone speak as much bollocks as you in my entire life, even those who have studied the art for many years...

I do not know what you have never hear, but I have heard and read enough of your sententious pap to realize that you do not know what you are writing about. Your ignorance is sublime, you are not only dumb, and dumber, but you are obviously the dumbest of the dumb with possibly the exception of fermented pear juice, and with the cypherpunk - coderpunk imperium, that is saying a lot.
