That's because your projects are mostly small hobby projects
and not global game-changers where TLAs no longer stand a
chance against the use of AEC.

Moron, nobody will enter and click this URL in a browser
until you have clearly stated if this site is secure and
tamper resistant, so that the code can't be modified!!!!

*Got it?* (Probably not...)

Oh I know why you got banned. You are the ass? Ms Frank?


> *Got it?* (Probably not...)
You mean from cloudflare? The only reason I use that is for free HTTPS. 
You are the total moron who thinks I made that page for a real use 
cipher! I just did it for an example. Moron.

Have a nice day asshole.
