I have crafted my first JAPH (translation: too much time on my hands), although I have a suspicion that it must have already been taken by Randall or Abigail (is there an index somewhere? I don't want to put it in my .sig and then be accused of plagiarism) since it is fairly simple and only uses one trick (I dislike character cipher obfuscations, so I haven't obscured it any further with one of those). Anyway, presented here with helpful white space instead of packing it in. Creative or shorter variants solicited.
