Although I concurr with the persona analysis TM did of you, I still ponder about
the pertinence of TM to discourage such efforts, even if they are naive and
virtually guaranteed to be useless as far as applied crypto is concerned.
TM's attitude seems to be the same as someone who would ridicule a toddler for
trying to walk, because said toddler is not likely to be able to run a marathon
in the next three days.
Before you can run, you have to learn to walk. Before you can walk, you have to
learn to stand up. Before you learn to stand up, you have to learn to crawl.
Kids must be encouraged. And also, taught to write properly in at least one
language... (It's my lucky day, English is my second language!)
I still can't believe that the nowadays Tim is the same that posted five years
ago.
Maybe his bunker and the lack of sunlight got to his head in a bad way. Or
maybe he just gets his paycheck from the NSA.
