Wow jhamps10, that is awesome. Thank you for decoding. You guys are great this year decoding the various cryptic messages. I hated trying to use their guide! And the plots are great too. This site has really come a long way in the few years I've been lurking. God bless all of you who worked hard to make tools like this.

and for those who are not using a decoder:
