Hey guys

I was looking at the "recent posts" at pastebin.com and found this:

http://pastebin.com/890208

I'm not really interested in what it says, just whether or not it would be possible for somebody here to figure out.

its not rot13 which I expected,

I messed around and am not sure of what cipher was used, Something tells me the second word is "this", while I question if its written in German.

only becuase "th" appears often in my tests as well as "ein"

Honestly, I dont know. I'm sure its something simple.

Does the author post anything else like this on the site?
c(x) = 3x3 + x2 + x + 2; Find the inverse

I'm finding nothing.

It has word divisions, but I can't match them against my dictionary.

The monograph frequency count is too flat for simple substitution, anyway. But it's not flat enough for a truly sophisticated cipher.

But IC counts for possible vigenere keyword lengths gives me nothing.

And the digraph count is suspiciously flat - only one repeated pair. Which pretty much rules out Playfair and the other digraph substitution ciphers.
