[Spooks] one time pad and repeated messages

[Martin VE3OAT]

A small point about terminology.

I am no expert either, but it seems to me that a one-time "pad" is 
like a pad of paper, consisting of a number of individual sheets all 
attached together at the top.

Once a message has been encrypted, or decrypted, the associated sheet 
is destroyed, not the pad.

The pad isn't destroyed until all the sheets comprising it have been 
destroyed, at which point the pad no longer exists.

A small point but perhaps a necessary one.
