In case you all are wondering, you aren't insane. There is no "Humorous Quotes 1" yet. It got rejected in the queue, so wait a week or so before it comes out.
Can't wait to see Quotes I. Liked the Dave Barry - too true. Keep 'em coming!
I will always remember this as the first cryptography teaser I ever decoded.
This teaser must be good for the brain because it wasn't much fun to decode!

Really a fun teaser to solve. Thanks.
I liked these, however, it would have been more fun and challenging without the two letters that were given.
to mutch straighn on my pea brain
I think you need to be a professional cryptographer to do these. I don't like them very much. They take too long.
this was fun, however, you said that w=e, that was only right twice, but then k=e, and w=i, next time try to keep the same letter for each one
No patience to even consider working this kind of teaser out. Too much work and too little time to devote to it. I like a challenge not a lifetime commitment to one project. Sorry.
yea, that one took way too long for me. and the letters wern't always right. oh well.
There's no accounting for taste, including taste in teasers.
Once I made my alphabet cross-check list, sloving 2 and 3 was easy. The people who said the letter combos kept changing were mistaken. Obviously they don't understand how to work this kind of puzzle. Good job.
I loved it. Simple enough to understand, yet challenging enough frustrate and give great joy when solved!
and no, the letters didn't change from quote to quote. great choices, too!

awesome! I loved it! took me a bit to figure out though
Funny!! I liked it!! Good one Swaff! Hope the other one gets approved soon.
This was a fun one to figure out. The letters were all correct (the W was never E; the E was W~but to be fair, I was confused at first too), and it was just enough of a challenge to be fun. Keep 'em coming!
Very very very very very good
i loved it
i loved it
this brought back memories of solving "cryptoquotes" in the paper with my grandpa....however i was WAY too lazy to actually solve this...just not my cup of tea....i like the dave barry quote...
I agree it took a little time, but I LOVE crytoquotes and with only the original 2-letter hint got the whole thing solved straight through. Enjoyable!! Good luck on the other one's being approved.
btw, Brooks is a sick puppy, n'est-ce pas?

Fun Swaff - I have submitted ones similiar to these and I enjoy doing them and working them out. Many more please?
I love cryptography. This was fun! It did take awhile for me to find the time to sit down and do it, but when I did, I didn't need the hint. I remember back when Games magazine gave only a single letter hint, or perhaps only a nudge towards which words occur often enough to be "THE" or "AND"....
