And thus Damon and his lovely lady Ismet are the winners in the "Solve the
Caesars Cypher"...

I'll bring you each a lovely ice cold Coca Cola and a Snickers to
populace... :)

As was said in college oh-so-long-ago "Brain food for poor people" <<grin>>

This cypher is subject to solution based on the statistical repetition of
the letters of the alphabet, ie. the letter E is the most frequently
occuring letter, and when grouped as words, the other letters around it are
subject to educated guesses (Three letter word ending in e... hmmm how about
THE... So now that makes T - another commonly occurring letter here, here,
and here...  H here and here, and so on...)
