Glad to know I wasn't the only way who noticed this imlad Send a noteboard - 12/11/2009 01:40:53 AM
I couldn't help but wonder what Neal Stephenson would do with these code/cipher ideas.

I agree that it is likely Schole's elaborated on the text of the messages for us the readers, but it still did bug me.

Like I said, it was just about the only problem I have with the series so far.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
