Re: OT. Before it gets to Christmas time... My melancholic look back at the last year

I would like to thank sci.crypt for an educational year over a goodly
range of topics. It is an amazing gift to the public that professors,
doctors and genuine experts give their time to deal with the "small
matters" raised by non-experts.

I also thank Rodger Schlafly who puts out his crypto mini-faq every
monthly but rarely gets thanked for his efforts. And JS, DG, BU and JP
(who seems to be no more) - even if I disagreed with you in an OT
thread, I respected your intellect.

Merry Christmas Sci.crypt and best wishes for the new year


would like to second all the above,

falling for troll provocations,
doesn't diminish a person's capability in crypto,
as shown time and again by helpful detailed responses
to unknown first posters,
based solely on the intelligence and relevance of the posed crypto
question,

(ahh,
if only there were usenet flame wars
in the time of newton and leibniz ... ;-) )


even though our 'TIA"s are in our posts,
it seems a good time to acknowledge
the practical knowledge and effort put into some of the responses here,

so,

wishing all a good crypto year,

vedaal

(btw,
iirc, it's _Roger_,
(or, seriously,
[as an american i really don't know],
is there a variant traditional british form with a 'd' before the 'g' ?
)
