Default Pertinent Cryptogram with solution

I was looking at today’s Cryptoquote in the St. Petersburg Times and for some reason it hit home. I found the sentiment rather touching and quit pertinent. I know some would share my feelings.
Though the Times doesn’t do it, I’ll give a clue like the Daily Sun does. I’ll even give two. But you still have to work for it a little.

U = N and A = L


XD FTV IRU ’ P RUUTF HTWGLTEF

NXPM NMRP FTV NKXPG , X PMXUY

PMGKG ’ H AXPPAG QTXUP XU NKXPXUC.

Here's the solution to the cryptogram. I thought it a pretty decent quote which I'm sure some folks might think applies to me.

"If you can't annoy somebody with what you write, I think there's little point in writing." --- Kingsley Amis

Muncle:

1. First of all, kudos in admitting you read the St. Petersburg Times, my favorite newspaper!

2. Your admission that some folks might think your writings annoy people garners you the curmudgeon award but we love you anyway!

3. Congrats on being so introspect.

4. I kinda get the feeling you are a pretty swell guy after all.
