I get the following solutions for "ISMAILAX" from the solver at
http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/cryptogram-solver.php:

ACREAGES
ADRIATIC
CADUCEUS
CHANCING
HARSHEST
LONELIER
LOVELIER
LOVELIES
RIVERBED
ROTARIAN
SADISTIC
SALESMEN
SIDESTEP
TAUNTING
TOGETHER

...although I'm not sure exactly how it reaches some of those permutations.
There are many more solutions if taken as "ISMAIL AX" but I don't think
they're nearly as interesting.

I'd do it myself, but... well, thanks to the VT situation, people where I am

Um, not to pry, but is it just spontaneous paranoia, or is there some
