Frankly, it is making you look like more of an annoyance than ever
before. We've already told you that what you are doing is building a
stream cipher. There is no distinction between what you are doing and
constructing a stream cipher. ALL stream ciphers attempt to produce a
PRNG stream that can't be broken. Yours is in no way different.
If you wonder why people aren't taking you seriously and are not
answering you and such, it is because you are both an amateur who
constantly wastes our time asking us to study your constant stream of
cryptosystems-of-the-week coded up in Fortran, and because you refuse
to try to learn when we try to explain anything anyway.
Either would be annoying on its own. Taken together, you are rapidly
turning yourself into a pariah who is thought of as killfile fodder.
If you think this isn't very "scientific" of us or whatever, please
understand that the world is FILLED with text to read. Most of us have
a very limited amount of time in which to absorb huge amounts of
material. When someone constantly violates etiquette and posts things
that contain nothing interesting but demand attention, invent their
own terminology, request that skilled professionals take time out of
their schedule to educate you and you alone, etc, people eventually
conclude -- in order to defend their precious time -- that you're not
worth talking to.
