Stop with the back seat moderating, without theories comes no progression.
Yes, but there is a difference between theories and spouting off the first thing that comes to mind.
With even just a little look into the HDD decryption method, you would have seen what Hunter was talking about, and would have known that it was part of the decryption process. Your research wasn't thorough, it was hasty and biased. Without leaving the loop, there is no progression.

Yes there may be dedicated threads, yes you may find yourself superior to others with your special orange user name. But seriously, stop aiming for that +1 post count.
So, let me get this straight, you knew there were dedicated threads, and yet, you posted a new thread for it? Because you wanted it to be seen, right?
Think about this for a minute: In a situation like this, everyone is trying to figure this out as soon as possible. The first person to release it to the public becomes famous, a celebrity. So, instead of posting the theories in the theory thread, the ideas are strewn all about the forums, because everyone thinks their ideas need to be recognized, because their ideas are better than everyone else's. Exactly why does your idea deserve it's own thread? Who is finding themselves superior now? (I would insert the clapping smiley here, but personally, I can't stand it when someone else does it to me, so here, have a pedo bear) :pedo:
Also, you do realize that you're not only insulting a member who donated to the site, but you are insulting them BECAUSE they donated to the site, don't you?
And I really doubt he's looking to merely get an extra post. Some users are getting annoyed at all of the hastily thrown together "theories" that are cluttering up these forums. Granted, the comment was off topic, but it was better than creating another thread for it, wasn't it?
