in thread crypto with core modules only

I poked a hole where I felt one needed to be poked, although I tried to do so somewhat gently, so as to leave the door open to potentially allow for some constructive discussion.

If you feel that I'm in the wrong here, whether in the facts or in my style, then I'm open to hearing criticism specific to my posts; but please no random speculations or vague analogies to other situations.

    Ummm ... it looks to me that this is in response to the post that I made.
    That's a bit weird because I, too, felt that the very same hole needed to be poked.

    On the contrary, I expected that my statement "You aren't the only one" would have indicated my agreement with your stance.

    My suggestion that sundialsvc4 and TheloniusMonk are one and the same was put forward as a possible explanation of your (and my) inability to understand TheloniusMonk's point.
    But I was assuming that, like me, no-one else could ever understand sundialsvc4 ... I can sometimes assume too much ;-)

      I meant I was poking a hole in the first sentence of this post - are we talking about the same thing here? :-)

      Yes, sorry, I apparently kind of skipped that and focused too much on the other two paragraphs - it seemed to me like you might be comparing my post to some of the vitriol that's happened here, which I disagreed with (Update: or rather, I was hoping I wasn't being that bad...).

      And I'm still not going to engage in that other speculation ;-)

        Yes.
        I'm no crypto expert either, but I do know that a random one-time pad is the best form of cryptography, so long as it's not re-used && the enemy don't get hold of it.

        Cheers,
