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.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

You win the thread.
In a manner of speaking.
Another FEUDGEDVO argument. I like George Will’s formulation:
“You are an arsonist, running amok in a field of FEUDGEDGO of your own construction.”
Not when you are swimming. As Richard Hamming said, “The purpose of computing is insight, not answers.” It is far more important to understand principles than obtain facility with calculation. Richard Lindzen, who more or less invented the science of climatology, referring to climate alarmists, said, “I fear these people are computer programmers, not scientists.” The East Anglia climategate emails prove him wrong. They aren’t even [competent] computer programmers.
...and corrected by the guy in the stall next to him.
The correction was only, at best half correct. One can trivially prove that the statement, as “corrected” must be false on both geometric and algebraic grounds. Sorry.
