Alt.humor.best-of-usenet Frequently Asked Questions (revised June 2nd, 1996)
[much snipping]
Q4: How can I read this post that the moderators have encrypted?
Some articles are rot13-encrypted, and most newsreaders have the decoding
built-in. They're usually preceded by a disclaimer from the moderators
advising that the article may be offensive, and the moderator's decision
is somewhat arbitrary about this (tending to err on the side of caution
after the "Barney the Nazi Dinosaur" incident, see Q5). Thanks to the
various readers that have submitted the following instructions:
rn/trn: ctl-x
tin: d
nn: D
gnus: C-c C-r
PSU NetNews: "rot13"
anu-news: read/rot13
vms vnews: x
Yarn (offline reader): x
WinVN: ctl-r
FreeAgent/Agent: ctl-r
Most MS-Windows newsreaders: ROT13 from one of the menus
