This used to be a common practice when Usenet was civil, before it fell into its dark age of being overpopulated by spoiled, foul-mouthed brats. In my newsreader, Agent, there is a setting for ROT13 to encode a word such as s??t. you select the word and apply ROT13 to it. For example, a terribly politically incorrect word these days with many is the word 'Christmas' which becomes Puevfgznf when encoded. From: http://www.glassgiant.com/geek/rot13/ ROT13 Encoder / Decoder ROT13 is a very simple encryption method. It is usually used to encode text so that it cannot be read accidentally. Normally it is used for spoilers (i.e. "Gur tvey va gur Pelvat Tnzr vf n zna" ) or for off-color jokes (i.e. "'Unir lbh rire frra zbguonyyf?' 'Lrf.' 'Ubj qvq lbh trg gurve gval yrtf ncneg?" ). Many newsreaders include ROT13 decoding features, though it's use seems to be declining. Method Only alphabetic characters are encoded. This is done by simply ROTating the letter forwards or backwards 13 letters. For example, 'A' is letter 1. Adding 13 to 1 gives you 14. The fourteenth letter is 'N'. Therefore 'A' becomes 'N'. 'N', on the other hand, becomes 'A' (14 - 13 = 1). This means you can undo ROT13 encoding by simply encoding it again.
