I take it you haven't read the forum rules. *hint*Don't double post dammit!

you guys are really strict about double posting. ill remember next time...

well, I don't have the time to decode it, but if you are simply changing letters, I would look for the letter that is most common, which would be "e", and work from there

if no one can solve it by the end of monday, i guess ill hv to give a hint...

Maybe noone *wants* to decode it? Maybe we got a life, and don't waste our time on someone else his signature... but maybe that's just me (which I doubt)

yeah cryptic word puzzle are just nerdy!!!! Who wants to do them, I'll stick with riddles, anagrams, math tricks, eye illusions, crosswords, trivia, and of course to programming to waste my time and my life, not word puzzles.

*pfffff*

That is only really affective if there is a lot of text, which there isn't, so finding pattern words would be the way to go... But there arn't any of those... I'm assuming no one here is a professional cryptoanalysis, so we'd really need some more text...

Well 25 letter word....hmmm....Is there a siginifacnce to the capital M and O. ehhh... I'll go back to not caring.

Decrypt that one! There's only one answer.
Really, your signature can be decrypted in any way if we don't have a context.

That's a Peano axiom.

_ Not in my context _

Hence we need to know the context of the original message, unless we get more text as already mentioned. Real 25-letter words are pretty rare, some people like making stupid merged ones though

Btw, here's my encryption algo:
---
s = "Writing a C-like script interpreter and a bytecode assembler for a vm is tricky but fun"

msg == s => print 0
msg != s => print msg
---

Well, that's a bit different, I think crzyrbl is just using a simple Monalphabetic substitution cypher...
