I had never heard of ROT13 until I got back into BBSes in
May 2020. It's a neat concept of scrambling or obfuscating
information, more akin to passing a note in class & hiding
the information from teacher than actual encryption, but a
neat concept just the same.
I really like Winpoint's built-in rot thirteen feature. That's
handy for echos where one may like to post a spoiler, a contest
clue or a punchline. It's nice not to have to rely on an
internet connection just to decode a string at rot13.com.
I didn't realize until now that it was used by Julius Caesar in
the 1st century BC.

P.S: Is "Bis denne" German for "Until then"? Or was this a ROT13 mixup?
The former!
