Okay,this is a strange question to ask here, if anyone knows about Logic gates(As in electrical circuits, not in computers), if I connect two switches in parallel with each other as well as with a bulb, doesn't it constitute a NOR gate?

@GarethMcCaughan Stop mentioning my real name (A4 K9) repeatedly. If you mention it next time, I will flag for mod.
I don't think it's a rule violation to use the real name of someone if they publicly presented it on the SE network before... Sure, you can ask someone to not use it anymore, but flagging it for mod seems wrong to me IMHO.

@GarethMcCaughan: Read only the first sentence of this comment.

@LukasRotter Is there stego in the "Anti Dolphin" stuff ?
@ArbitraryKangaroo OK, noted; my apologies. I hadn't realised you were hoping for an entirely clean break. As Lukas and Sid say, it seems a bit odd to be complaining quite so vigorously at the same time as having the name in question in your profile. In any case, I shall refrain from calling you by that name in the future unless you return to it yourself.
@Sid It will indeed behave like a NOR gate, but your power source may not take kindly to being shorted out :-).
@ArbitraryKangaroo Lukas means I am the only person for whom the following is true: If that person has correctly guessed the identity of Mushroom Bang Boom, then that person is entitled to 500 rep points from Lukas on account of his earlier promise. He isn't claiming that I have in fact guessed correctly.
Well, we can't all be cryptic crossword connoisseurs :-P
I'm enough of a crossword dilettante not to be too picky about clues working exactly 'right' (though perhaps that will change when I get more practice with them...)
Hey @Deusovi, when you reach a new rep threshold while already a mod (congrats on 25k, btw!), do you get that inbox notification to tell you about your new privileges even though you actually had all the privs already?
@GarethMcCaughan The confusion is my fault, because I anagrammed "US video" without realising that "about" meant wrapping one word around another rather than just anagramming.
Gareth McCaughan- You are a sock puppet of M Oehm(Or vice versa). See the similarities- Both of these users haven't posted a single question but have over a hundred answers and they also give pretty high quality answers. And now, Gareth fumbles and writes in German. Yes!! I was right.... (No offence to any of the two subjects, but you are caught now...) :P
@Sid Better that than being accused of being a rogue AI, I guess. I am flattered by the comparison -- M Oehm is super-sharp -- but no, I am not M Oehm, nor do I have any other identities here. Sorry! :-)
@Deusovi Speaking of rep thresholds, did you get the "you just gained a new privilege" notification when you hit 25k today, even though you had full privs already?
(I asked earlier, but you must have missed the ping :-) )
Partial answer
The text message is very short and yet contains a steganographically hidden message, so presumably the solution involves manipulation of individual letters rather than words.
But I had to make it through security
Not one nor two, but eighteen times!

My initial thoughts were that the first line when converted into numbers (letters per word) would relate to letters in the riddle, but didn't get anywhere with that

Hint 1:
Hint 2:
To be accepted, an answer must explain all lines including the title. But any serious attempt at a solution will get an upvote from me.
MathJax is evil. Even if it's inside a link (e.g. a title here on PSE) it displays the MathJax context dialog instead of the browser-specific one after clicking the right mouse button ;_;
I have an awesome idea to annoy people :P: I'll make a script that, when I post an answer/question/whatever (maybe I'll do it in chat first) makes a link out of every common word that redirects to the wikipedia/dictionary page of that word, while not doing the same for uncommon words. E.g. [Hello], my [name] is [Lukas] and I like [apples] and neoprimitivism
@Alenanno sorry for the tardiness. Life and all that... I've updated that spreadsheet. Bottom right shows two possible valid solutions (assuming they don't have errors).
Given how much guessing was required, I'm confident there's more. e.g. these two are only different in one corner, but that just happened to be the last corner I was guessing in, if I had've started there and moved other ways I think there'd be equivalent ambiguous regions elsewhere.
Lukas Rotter's answer is the intended one, but in the spirit of Geobits SetBigO, I can't resist adding an alternative, more convoluted solution.

Just a test to see if you need links to have a http(s)://prefix to work in chat (they apparently do in normal questions): Don't click here 1 - [Don't click here 2](www.shayesaintjohn.net/), - [Don't click here 3](shayesaintjohn.net/)
