Not so. It's merely your sci.crypt posting behaviour that I don't like. When
you grow up a little, you'll be as likeable as you are competent[1], and
/that/ will be worth waiting for.

[1] I don't know, obviously, how competent Tom is, because his competence in
crypto far outweighs mine. I can deduce that he's not completely lame;
otherwise sci.crypt would just laugh at /everything/ he says, which they
don't.
