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.

Until he suffers adverse consequences, then no.
I’m trying to think of a good example of a leader who was done in by a bunch of yes-men. There’s a former supervisor of mine but the name would mean nothing to you.
I know there are more out there but I’m drawing a blank.
“When someone tells you the truth, they’re trying to help you. When they lie to you, they are trying to manipulate you.”
Hmm....when my colleagues were agreeing with my former boss, maybe they were trying to wrangle a promotion on a sinking ship...if so, it didn’t work. He was replaced before that could happen.
