Then there is the AMERICAN CRYPTOGRAM ASSOCIATION that Eldo always mentions.
American Cryptogram Association
$18 will get you a signed membership card by "Gamester" and they will give you an official secret cool codebreaker "name"( like Eldo's "Breaker")...AND they have guest speakers like Petter Amundsen, that give lectures on their unproven, unsupported by the academic scholar community theories and are there to sell and sign books.
I'm sure the "good reverend Laf" will someday be added to that guest speaker list- that is if he has book about his Beale cipher solutions.
What are you waiting for?
