Wow, you guys do statistical analysis, frequency analysis, take
guesses at it being mono alphabet substitution, poly alphabet
substitution, or some permutation of a simple xor scheme....but your
not trying to crack it? Sure sounds like the first steps taken to
begin cracking something.......bull*** you tried and you cannot.

BTW y our "message" is not even close....and you know it.
