Harmon: Have you forgotten polite society? Have you forgotten what your mother (should have) told you? "If you can not say something nice, don't say it." --in particular refrain from personal attacks. It is one thing to criticize, but it is another to blather unintelligibly without any knowledge than your own bias --and maybe your own intellectual ignorance and bigotry. if you have not walked in the other's shoes, keep silent. now, if you will please excuse us, Perry has code to write --and I have code to write. lastly, if you can not onserve reasonable decorum, sign for alt.christian and post heretical ravings, and if you are desparate for attention or your name in lights, join alt.flame and have at it.

If this is what you consider contributing them you seem to have some deep problems that cannot be solved here. You may have to seek professional help. Your continued and at times seemingly uncontrollable use of vulgar language may indicate a neurobiological disorder such as Tourette's syndrome. You really should have it checked out before you harm yourself and possibily others.

Thank you for the pseudopsychology, but really, all you've done is further confirm my diagnosis of "non-contributing asshole".

When was the last time you did anything to actually help spread cryptography, eh?

If you'll pardon me, I have crypto code to get back to.
