Well, yes that snippet did come from "the future" in (I believe) one of those weird e-mails?

All sounds plausible, just feels like we should be moving something along and are missing something

After looking through the last newsletter e-mail, and seeing how the message is hidden, I think there may be some more information to "decode".

1. for instance, "tMqAqDqFqSqAqGqEqDt" is interpreted to be "MANAGED", even though it decodes as "MADFSAGED"

more:

2. before "MANAGED", the words are "h(h$x)�x # kTk ~ x"x= eIdRe # uEu ^ rFr *", which should be the person who "managed", but it is encoded differently, and "()� T " IR E F" doesn't make sense.

3. later in the same sentence, "lByLl$o�"o$sEcNcDs" is decoded as "BLEND", but is literally "BL$�"END"

4. later in the same sentence "xGy4y3y2y4yAyMyDyAySyEx" is decoded to "GAME", but is literally "G4324AMDASE"

- Note: SAD,SDA,DAS seem to show up a lot in the literal decodings"

5. later in message, there is "p@NaDp", which could decode as "@ND", but doesn't make sense in the sentence

6. still later, "k)k$m"�AhSm - wD'Sw % hPpRpOpTpOpTpYpPpEh" is decoded only as "PROTOTYPE", but whose prototype? ")"�AS D'S" ?

7. then, "y"�y$r)("�)r$m"�Im$dEd : rRwEwAwLwIwZwEwDr" is decoded as "REALIZED", but who realized? ""� )("�) "�I E" ?

8. then at the end, before connection lost, "mHcOcUcRcSc9c3c8c2m $ f9d0dUdOdJdLdKdAf..tDt.gShAhDhAhShDhAhSg" is decoded as "HOURS", but is more fully decoded as "HOURS9382 90UOJLKA. D. SADASDAS"

can "9382 90UOJLKA. D. SADASDAS", possibly mean be decoded further ?

I don't think the decoding is necessarily just via alternate letters though. The way I decoded it was with a python script:

Okay, so just to see about what you were talking about Russell, I emailed Nick (since he is the original creator of the program) and asked his opinion about the logic I mentioned here. (Plus it was a convienent way for the PM's to give a wink or not) Anyways I explained the logic as a story I'm creating (sci-fi) just so he wouldn't go running to Liam or anyone. This was his response

I have gone back to look at the "warning" file that was analyzed earlier.

it looks like this:

Good catch! (I wonder where the program glitched...) That was one of the most mysterious phrases. LL makes so much more sense!

So, just got an email from Maria. Who responded you may ask?

Future Maria! Though it seems that she completly avoided the questions I asked. haha.

Anwyays there's quite a bit of junk in the email so here's the cleaned up version.
