Well, I'd say ARCFOUR has been discussed a hell of a lot more than what 
this thread ever mustered up. I also submit that implementing ARCFOUR or 
studying p3.py would be a hell of a lot more educational than posting a 
lousy algorithm, calling it unbreakable, and responding to criticisms 
with "I don't understand so you must be wrong."

Education is a process one must engage in. You don't just step in it.
