"I'm glad we're telling them about the flaws in their cryptography. It reminds me of that press conference we had in 1943 when we told the Germans we'd broken Enigma."
The above lingered for three days without vote or reply.
Congratulations, @David_Gillies, your post prompted me to click on your name to see how much you were capable of irony, sarcasm, or other archness. For the first time under the sign of the vulture. The breaking of Enigma was a secret so secret that, at least in urban legend, many Coventry souls were sacrificed to preserve it, and Britain's hard-won lead in electronic computers was immolated even after the War. How we didn't quite win the war, department.
Examination showed you are capable of all manner of intelligent comment.
So, either it's true, and those six decades of shtumness were the most hubristic ever sacrifices to the god of Twittery (using that work in its archaic sense, equi-impotent to fuckupery) Bureaucracy, and the acts that caused it the most enduring monument of any Twittery Bureaucracy.
Or it's ironic, like the phrase "It's spelled Joomla, but it's pronounced Yomla, remember who won the War."
In either case, I'd send you an Ale except I don't know which button to press.
