    A piece of cake. Unfortunately, the decoded message is one which is above Top Secret and is designed by the FBI to flush out aliens, who can then be eliminated. So a word of warning, if you do manage to do it, don't mention it to anyone and, above all, don't think of elephants while you're decoding it.

    By the way, I have hacked this forumer's account, so he's not responsible, so he should not be elimina.....

    trivial substitution cypher, crack it with a frequency table, replacing the symbols with arbitrary characters to make it easier to type...
