Flamer. How did I make an ass of myself? I even said "[I'm] not exactly sure what you're talking about" before I apparently made a "wild assumption."
And if I ever find myself with an interest in it, then maybe I'l read up on it. Right now, me caring about cryptography ends when I'm sure that my credit card number isn't transmitted in plain text when I buy books at Amazon; again, like 99% of the population.
