First:  People who are asking what ROT13 is probably just want to know
how to read the rotted stuff.  Don't confuse them by telling them
about tr or shell scripts -- all they have to do when in readnews
is type D in response to an article that proclaims itself rot13ed.
If they really want to rot things themselves, postnews guides you
through this process.

Second:  Why don't we dispense with ROT13 entirely?  Let's admit the
fact that everyone either wants to read the stuff, or can reject
the article based on the 'offensive' subject keyword heading.

... or is it that rot13 is a cherished part of net.jokes lore and custom
that no one can bear to give up...?
