Couldn't it just as easily be something to do with the un-bolded letters?

Just thinking outside the box Razz

I'm being nitpicky now, but I noticed what may be a *slight* error in the transcription of the bold letters (see line 9).

revised Randomeis' post:

fwrwhribne
HinheartHetowfe
Oosrradsinhgle
tcnihailougeel
tgumsheeerlbng
Tnrernalunimen
rwitpwthdi
alCherbekmb
oru b ibtibesr
Tauhodwlbertk
Buvtdolousdlgh
benenaryoiiil
h

so my revised version of the letters is:

Also, in case it helps anyone, or sparks a memory here is a link to the excel spreadsheet I have set up for the paradise lost puzzle.

Since the bolded text only happens in the first half of the text, I had an idea that maybe the letters of the solution where hidden in the second half of the text using the locations of the bolded letters. Here are my results (not that them mean anything Very Happy

):

Mirrored or folded:
Result with aligning bottom->

I like the idea of folding a lot, but after playing with it for a while, I am reminded that we are supposed to get a name out of this (e.g., Dick White). Since the bold letters are just in the first 13 lines of text, I wonder if the final answer (firstname+lastname) will be thirteen letters long. That would mean that each line should produce just a single character.

So for what it's worth, it's possible to make an exact 14x11 square with the bold letters:

Thought I saw something in the source that wasn't on the page, but it was on the page, I just hadn't scrolled all the way down.

Nevermind

Holy smokes, where would be we be without grumpyboy to solve these codes for us? Fantastic job!

Anyway, Ned[d] Ludd was the mythical leader of the Luddites, leading the battle against the rise of technology. Interesting analogy...

Nice one gb! I tried a bacon cipher on it last night, but since the results didn't make sense, I gave up. Silly me gave up too easy.
