``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.
