The "f"'s are just enough to thwart (ahem,lesser!) intellects from critically analyzing the text. And as far as I can tell, there was no real content in the post. Could the position of the f words be the key to the encrypted message? I need to enlist the help of smarter minds to decode the message - I have zero experience in this, but I am sure there are minds bright enough on this list to crack the XL posts. Here's all I could get going, trying to see if there was something in the name itself (but clearly the below is kindergarten level, at best) >>> eName="xahlee" >>> def fName(name="", offset=0, p=1): newName="".join([chr(ord(c)+ offset -(26*((ord(c)+offset)>122))) for c in name]) if p==1: print newName return newName >>> for i in range(0,26): nn=fName(name,i) xahlee ybimff zcjngg adkohh belpii cfmqjj dgnrkk ehosll fiptmm gjqunn hkrvoo ilswpp jmtxqq knuyrr lovzss mpwatt nqxbuu orycvv pszdww qtaexx rubfyy svcgzz twdhaa uxeibb vyfjcc wzgkdd Certainly this one caught my eye ("rubfyy") - Ruby with the f-you acronym inside it! Sorry, folks, its been a long week and I need to decompress. EP -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
