Since I don't want someone to guess this quote (without the actual decoding involved...) from now on, I will focus on the decoding clues (probably..maybe...we'll see...it is MY contest, after all...I can do what I want...Right?) Anyway, here are the sentences now broken down into words (the slashes are now between words. The vertical spaces are still between sentences.) Clear?  Ok here goes! Hint# 11: (I think...)

Hint # 12: I'm not smart enough to come up with a whole new concept for encryption. (i.e., if you played in one of my previous Code Breaking Contests, you may find some of the previous encoding conceptual information useful to this code...)   |

I've been doing everything I can to reach out and understand why people voted against me. They were trying to send a message. I have to be more sensitive in the way I express myself, and I have to be more thoughtful in the positions I take. James P. Moran, no?  It's 3 sentences... has "in the way" and... yeah... |

The only other one I can find is
"I have a message for the influence peddlers, for the polluters, the HMOs, the big drug companies, that get in the way, the big oil and the special interests who now call the White House their home. We're coming, you're going, and don't let the door hit you on the way out."
From John Kerry... he's not the prez, he's 20th century (if you count it that way), he says uhhh like uh.... and on the 2004 campaign trail Gitmo was brought up... although not a lot...

How bout 3 verses from The Honorable David Grisman?
Old and in the way, that's what I heard them say
They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday
Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away
They'll never care about you, call you old and in the way
Once I hear tell, he was happy
He had his share of friends and good times
Now, those friends have all passed on
He don't have a place called home
Looking back to a better day, feeling old and in the way
When just a boy, he left his home
Thought he'd have the world on a string
Now the years have come and gone
Through the streets he walks alone
Like the old dog gone astray, he's just old and in the way

Hint # 13: I see a few guesses including the phrase "in the way". I did not intend the clue "some words get "in the way"" to mean the words "in the way" are in the quote. The words "in the way" are NOT in the quote. I apologize if any of you all may have thought that. Also, Hint # 14: "In the way" might mean some words in the encoding do not contribute to the solving of this puzzle... And to help clear this up to those of who may have thought that I will offer this: Hint #15: There are 2 "not" s in this quote. There are NO "in" s in this quote. There are NO "way" s in this quote. There are 2 "the" s in this quote. I hope this helps... |

Hint # 15: Progression is good. Conversely, regression is not. Hint # 16: This quote is a definition within another definition. (It all makes sense. I swear... ) |

This is my first time trying to crack this - I wish I could see your previous codes...

The grid is a 5 x 5 grid with C & K utilizing one grid square so all the letters of the alphabet will fit into the 5 x 5 grid (25 total squares). To decode, one uses a positive x translation followed by a negative y translation. (Over and then down...) (Large) Hint # 17:  |
