I tried the binary code tools you guys use but I don't seem to be doing it right because all I get are random letters.

after decoding the binary you should decrypt it using rot-9 (or maybe rot-something else? if you use ROT-X, from unfiction's tools you'll find it). it says approximately "I can see the message in the capitals. how can I help?". I think it's from a player.

EnigmaFisk is a player. There is a smiley to the right of the 2/6 post in the blue area.

seen it! thanks! Smile
I think I've already met this smiley on another wordpress blog from another arg (wetellstories), if I remember correctly it turned up to be just something with wordpress stylesheets.

 		Also thinking that the tiny smiley is part of Wordpress which appears on the right with Foxfire and on the left with IE....Smile

 		wj1975--Naha,what "waste people's time"? No one noticed that smiley until you mentioned it and ARGing is for a large part looking for small discrepancies.... Cool

 		The blog has been altered. Several entries have been removed (looks like the encoded ones that were decoded at the start of this thread).

 		wj1975, don't feel you have to have something "big" to contribute before jumping in! Speculation, brainstorming, etc., are very important too. And welcome to uF btw! Brownie

I've run into the stealth smiley before too, maybe in Whitechapel (sniffle)... but yeah, it's just a Wordpress thing. Good eye though!

thats the post, with the weird punctuation tara mentioned...there was no punctuation visible in the post before highlighting.
,,,...,,,,,.,..,..,,..,....,.,,,,,,.,,.,.,,.,,...,,,,,.,,.,...,...,.,,..,.,,,,...,..,,..,.,,,.,,

so, my first thoughts are either morse code, or making some significance ot the letters.

not getting anywhere with the morse code. its not binary (assuming the commas as 1's and the .'s as 0's.

 		If you highlight over the text in the new post, it has lots and lots of punctuation seemingly hidden in there. Did this happen in earlier posts too? I thought I saw it mentioned, but I don't see it in any of the ones left on the blog now.

I thought perhaps it was morse, but I tried that and got nothing...

 		I'm really not sure what that could be other than morse. The question is which punctuation stands for which symbol. The possibilities are:

comma=dash
period=dot

or

period=dash
comma=dot

Tara, which did you try?

 		I got an email from Providence today at 3:32pm pacific time.

in it is only this:
.,. , .,.. ,.,, ... .., .., , ,.,


I did a morse code for -

period=dash
comma=dot

and it translated to KEYLOGGER

I think that means that the DR. IS watching every stroke - yes?
