It is somewhat ironic that you would create a key on this particular
weekend.  I trust you will not mind if I use the older key.  Probably
anybody with the resources to crack it has something worthwhile to
say. ;-)  (Caught that little trick in the selection of g.  Cute!)

I'll try to maintain the high standards you've set for the key,
although it is likely these efforts will fall short.  I've admired
your well thought out, informative, and modest posts for some time
now.
