With the greatest respect, Alex, whilst I think that some of the exchanges
could be performed better by off-list email between those participating, and
some of the ad hominems could be avoided, there are very serious issues at
stake here. Whilst you and I (and many others) may have drawn our own
conclusions, they are necessarily subjective and personal. However there is
one crucial matter to which Robert has to attend, for on 1 Jan 2004, at

If Robert delivers the goods, then this is far from useless. I would prefer
to allow him the remainder of his holiday, after all 20 minutes or even a
few days is hardly material. Indeed, on 2/1/04 9:53 pm, Robert Tito wrote:

But if he fails to decrypt the example provided by Tuesday night, he will
clearly need to make a public retraction and apology to all concerned.

Even as an amateur, I am enthralled.

Happy New Year,
Howard.
