- What is your area of expertise? ( None I presume) . Now whatever it is I
- presume that this posting indicateds your willingness for free to give a
- few days of your time to whoever askes you to donate it. I for example
- have a yard that needs raking and cutting. You will be willing I presume
- from this post to give me a few hours of your time to fly here ( you pay
- of course) and do it for me. Most people have better things to do with
- their time than to respond to juvenile challenges posed by each and
- every person that wanders in.
- Of course if I have got you wrong and you had really been intending to
- pay say $100/hr to have this done for you, I do appologise. If you had
- only made that clear I am sure that you would have gotten a very
- different response.
- The internet is a wonderful place where you can often get increadibly
- valuable information and advice and solutions to problems. To berate
- people for not giving you free professional advice and work ( and
- decrypting stuff even when it is straightforward is work) is childish,
- inconsiderate and very rude.
- (And no I am not a cryptographer- I couldnt decode a straight
- transposition cipher even if I was told that's what it was.)
