Good job, Nick!

P.S. Completely off topic...has Mr. Wald been posting as usual? I've had
him blocked for for quite some time now.

If you're using Firefox, there's a ROT13 extension that lets you readily ROT13
any desired web pages.

Yup, that's about it. ROT13 is obviously not meant to be any sort of real
"encryption", just something really geeky for hackers to play with to confuse
the n00bs. :)

First time I saw it was on usenet in the late 80's or early 90's, it
was used for offensive or not-safe-for-work/wives/kids text.. You
could pull up a thread and have it on the screen, and rot13 it when the
coast was clear. That, or punchlines for jokes.. Most old unix
newsreaders had a hotkey that instantly converted posts back and forth.
If your boss or wife walked in while you were doing something
questionable, you could quick rot13 the whole post and say it was dutch
or norwegian or something.. Note** - know what languages your
boss/wife is fluent in before using that one..
