>>>>>[I've spent the last 8 hours going over the SILVER BULLET encrypt code
line by line, making sure that it was clean. It was! There was no Back Door.
I didn't write one in, and there had been no viral insertions of ANY code into
it. And they not only got through it, they kept it from destroying the contentstoo! I'm
annoyed! Drek it, there isn't an orginization or a console cowboy
who could hack this sucker in less than 2 weeks, never mind 5 days! Or less!
I don't remember I'm so fragged off! DREK!!!!!]<<<<<

>>>>>[You know very well that I was unable to access it, Solitiare, and my
employer's system was sufficient to only keep the system messages before the
message and after it. And it deleted itself totally from the Shadowland BBS
immediately after distribution, so whoever accessed it not only has access to
this BBS, but can access a heavily encrypted message so subtlely that it doesn'teven
register an access.]<<<<<

are
hardly insignifigant, would not be capable of such. Indeed, even the Tir
Tairngire Peace Force would not be able to perform such subtle penetration and
they would KILL for such an oppertunity, and have once or twice.]<<<<<

wonder
if this relates to Jaez and AJ being captured. Similar situations, hard core
data retrieval, sounds like*****Link Terminated***** IC system beginning PURGE
