I too have been watching from the first day but have to respectfully disagree.The fact that some posters have put extraordinary effort into the thread is obvious but it does not give them right of ownership.The thread was begun by OP and the rest of us are merely players.Hopefully we can leave our egos out of it and learn to cooperate as a working unit regardless of when we became interested in the thread.Personal attacks are childish as is cliquishness.Let's give credit where credit is due and then get on with the job at hand in an atmostphere of mutual respect and harmony.


I have been looking for you as I think it was you who posted the synopsis of the players in this theater. I thought it a fine account for the lay reader. It would give us depth as to the value of what is going on in the GOM. This is where I thought the code breakers in this thread were loosing some of us who would not be up to speed with code breaking.
There is no doubt the two main code breakers did some great work, but this alone does not make the thread. This thread is not about just one person or the ego. This tread is about all of us and the state of our world. This thread is about peoples of all kinds who would come together in the common good.
There are those here who would chide the shill and yet speak of up-grade, and of private PMs. Perhaps they should have a care as to the fact of their own computer and the hacker within might know more than the author. The clique which has developed here should remember their own intelligence is bench-marked by the fool they ignore.
There has been mention of the school-yard clique also. I have some idea as to this. This same clique outside in the yard who ignored me as the teacher within would teach the student with a swift switch. Thankfully the clique and the teacher taught me discernment for future learning.

Thank you,that was beautifully said........
When I post on this thread I do so in honesty and for the purpose of thinking. The reader will make the choice of further value.
Yes cooperation is what is needed to defy this evil among us, and let each buff their own ego in private.
My apology if I misquote you childoflight (I like that one), and kudos to the poster in any regard.
