Damn. I really re-typed that text a little bit too fast (had to make up
for a hard disk disaster...). 
 
Ok everybody, please cut, paste and use these machine-generated ones.

                     output: EQLZATNMWRYCHGSVBJOFXPIUKD


The text on the web page is being fixed accordingly.

Thanks

P.S. Here's a Perl one-liner used to generate them:

% perl -e 'srand($$); @a=("A".."Z"); for $i (0..25){$r=int(0.5+rand(25-$i));
          $c=$a[$r]; $a[$r]=$a[$#a]; $#a--; $b.=$c} print "$b\n";'
