I'll let others decide. ``I was tempted to say 2 + 2 was 5, but my academic background is rather weak around these edges... I'll let others decide.'' Listen, Simon---or whatever your real name is; the usernames on elevia.UUCP seem to be stolen from Ayn Rand books---it's extremely difficult for people to take someone seriously when he shows absolutely no repect for formality or rigor. If and when you start presenting your ``algorithms'' in any sane style, and if and when you start making some effort to present logical (or at least convincing!) justifications for your supposedly revolutionary statements, you might find sci.crypt a much more receptive audience. ---Dan
