Cipher writing is not the point. Cipher study and cipher analysis is, as you've been told many times. > A bit like the golfer who has a lovely set of clubs, polishes the bag, > cleans and polishes his shoes, buys some snazzy outfits with a white > cap, knows the rules of the game inside out panders to club politics > with lots of 'me too' stuff but never hits a ball. That's you. Always on the driving range, swinging wildly with an amateur stroke, claiming this is somehow new and innovative. Never plays a match without cheating and excuses. Always boasts about how he could theoretically shoot a perfect round. No score cards to show anyone, no valid club membership, big reputation as a bullshitter and a bore. > I do a huge amount of counting in my head too - binary and hex. So? Learn and practice something useful. Toddlers can count. If binary/decimal conversion is tantamount to cryptography to you, the maybe you need to get a book on school mathematics and do exercises until you understand it properly. While there try to learn enough elementary number theory so as not to make quite such an ass of yourself. M --
