Introduction

"There is great significance in the page numbers" -- Publius

This statement fueled much speculation among the enigma researchers, and some proposed that the languages in printed in the page numbers was fairly important. Other felt that the capitals of the countries whose languages were used were important. I believe that Publius used the page numbers as the key to unlocking one of his posted messages.

Analysis

I spent several days trying to use the page numbers as keys into different portions of the three posted messages without much luck. Then I tried the following piece of the first message.

Listen Read Think Communicate

The Division Bell songbook contains 24 pages. There are 26 letters in the four single words of the first message. Not an exact match, but can they be combined to extract a useful message? It would appear so, as the alignment below indicates.

S E R E T I K O M N I --> SITE MONIKER

When I first found this clue I thought that possibly the first message contained a user name. It was only after the next clue was found that I realized this post actually contains the site name. That name remains undiscovered.
