The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
I apologize for the late posting, I actually posted this at 6am, but for some unknown reason my account has been blocked for almost two days.
I asked why, but received no explanation. I did not want to bother Jim Robinson, of course, and expected something from the moderator, but received nothing.
Has anyone had this experience?
I didn’t finish. Then miraculously, my account was unblocked about 20 minutes ago.
I’m not sure what’s going on. I don’t like the new look to the Free Republic home page. The side bar is practically gone, and they’ve dropped the heading bar to the left side, where it clutters everything.
No need to apologize! Thanks for doing this.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
IN YOUR CLOTHES AVOID TOO MUCH GAUDINESS; DO NOT VALUE YOURSELF UPON AN EMBROIDERED GOWN; AND REMEMBER THAT A REASONABLE WORD, OR AN OBLIGING LOOK, WILL GAIN YOU MORE RESPECT THAN ALL YOUR FINE TRAPPINGS. — SIR GEORGE SAVILE
