First off, the post was good Steve, but all the posts reminded me of something.
Don't you think you could be kind on everyone and only use encryptions when the
job or your lives are at risk.

There is no risk involved in - oh - mentioning that you will be carrying a smg
or pistol. Especially since the reason why you were carrying it was encrypted
in the first place.

Just my feelings on encryptions. Also the other is that of Ded-boy and Durandal
only Ded-boy is a decker, and unless he had a lot of time on his hand, he has
either just used the same encryption over and over again, thus risking being
cracked, or is cycling through the encryptions. Either way, it increases the
chances that the encrypt will be broken. Please try and show some restraint on
encrypting all of your posts.

Mike.

I agree with the encryption idea. Either make multiple schemes, or use them
sparingly.

Heh, says the guy who encrypts 90% of 'is messages. Think I'll switch
algorithm's now...
