  • rot13 ?

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Wed Apr 17 00:09:00 2019
    Hello ALL!

    What is the point of having ROT13 these days?

    BTW, I enabled it for this message, but I still see it as normal.

    Maybe it can used as a way to keep the secrets between ROT13 users, such
    as only those who use OpenXP?

    Yep, so do I :)

    So, would this be a bug then?

    Dunno but Rot13 is ummmmmm, errrrrrrm, a bit stoneage and very easily deciphered. I've a good idea what the developer would say if I asked
    him about this ;-)

    So, you are suggesting that it has been disabled on purpose in oxp?

    ROT13 here is certainly a testament to the days of yore. ;)

    No, not at all, I'm suggesting that the developer probably wouldn't be interested but I'll ask him about it anyway.

    Yes it is, yes it is and yes it was :-)))))

    Yes, precisely.
