Ed Poor a signal-happy clown, my friend. He says the vote is nine but he means the index is 201.
I understand without the cheatsheet I can not break your one-time pad cypher, unless I search through the archives of the email list and the page histories of wikipedia.
I can make reasonable inferences from my own case, which, combined with the cases of others, might provide an accurate approximation of the cheatsheet.
Are you convinced yet?
Better get a new back channel now, the loudmouth Ed Poor blew this one.
