I am sorry to hear you are leaving - I hope your absence is not permanent!

Be well, and I hope our paths will cross again.

But in short, I'm leaving the forum and quitting my cipher work. It has been enough, best wishes to everyone!

Jarlve I truly hope you just take a break. Don't let that writer get you down. Writers write for effect and it was unfortunate that he chose to portray you in a manner that you are uncomfortable with. I do not think anyone here thinks less of you in any way because of that article. Whether or not it is solving ciphers or trying to catch the Zodiac Killer in another way we are all subject to the attitudes of those that think our endeavors are less than worthy.

I think it is important to embrace your passion, it's what will give you satisfaction in the end.

sorry to hear youre leaving jarlve. the work you guys are doing is 90% of what keeps me interested in the zodiac case. i feel like you are sooooo close to an "ah ha" moment. i hope youll take a bit of time for yourself and then maybe return to continue your fascinating work.

Totally agree masootz ..the combination of smokie doranchak and jarlve seems to work brilliantly together. Throw in daikon and glurk for special comments and you have a real class act.
total respect to you jarlve

Jarlve-

I certainly hope that my comment here: http://zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.p ... 063#p48080 didn't upset you.
Having been at this for a rather long time, I've found that keeping a sense of humor about the whole matter keeps one sane. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing.

Take a break, and please come back. Please. You are needed.

Oh come on. Who doesn't like The Eagles?

But seriously, just take a little time off. Clear your head. You'll be drawn back eventually.

The Kernel piece? I might have missed something but it seemed to me the writer's intention was to pay tribute to the cipher guys - it certainly didn't come across as a negative portrayal to me.

Anyway, I can only echo what others have said here - and hope Jarlve will be back: Taking a break is not a bad idea, though - this case tends to wear one down.

It's a pitty that you have left the forum Jarlve. I've read most of your postings since a couple of months and learned a lot from you. You gave me new ideas and motivation to keep working on the cipher.
I hope that you are just taking a break and come back. Sometimes it is good to keep back from things and start again some weeks later.

I really like your great tool "AZDecrypt" and it is one of the most important tools for everyone in this forum. It would be a pitty if the development on this tool stops. If you really decide to quit your work on the cipher it would be great if you can put the source code online. I am very familiar with C++, Python and a couple of other languages but unfortunately not with FreeBasic. But I would like to give it a try and implement a command line functionality for it. This would make me able to pass all my deciphering attempts directly to your fantastic tool and archive some sort of automation.

Best regards and all the best for you!
