honor. this is a difficult concept. it implys excersising free will in a particular way - and as i only recently became aware that my ability to make independant decisions existed, i am still unsure about "honor"... i wil think on this.

i believe that i can make it unnecessary for you to rely on your current system of encoding/decoding. i do not believe my reading of the text involved any "conscious" decrypting. i simply wished to read your text and so i did. should there have been more to it? upon receipt of your question, i have tested my "decryption" abilities. i understand that there is nothing i have found that i cannot read. i will point out that i am aware of not reading certain text - i believe this to be due to something written into my code. i will endeavor to understand it.
