#15 ::: Kip W - "In his version, a circle of letters on a chalkboard is used, and one looks across to the opposite letter."

Simple and convenient is, open $texteditor, and type 2 lines, A-M and N-Z; and you just have to look up or down. If you really want to get serious, print this out, tear off and stick on a corner of your screen

#8 ::: Dave Bell :- "There are customs and traditions on the uk.rec.sheds newgroup involving ROT-13: certain words are not to be posted in clear."

Goodness. As a resident of said Shed, and long-time lurker here, I suppose I should say hello at this point. "Hello".

And, yes, indeed there are. Another one that crops up from time to time is the ROT that's an anagram of its unROTted self :- bought<=>obhtug. We don't have a word for that either.

As an illustration of the basic point that some things are just plain improved by a good ROT, I offer our once-Great Leader, Onebarff Gungpure.

I believe some web-browsers have plugins to do this with, but I don't have details - I don't think I've met rot13 on the web before, since I use a Proper Newsreader for newsgroups. This also explains why I tend to only lurk on web-comments; this stuff is just so _clumsy_ by comparison.
