A while back there was someone on some newsgroup (I forget who &

Isn't that a simple rotation still? Part of a 'ring' of operations

I'm afraid that you missed his joke. Double ROT13 returns the text to
what it started with, so there is no change and no protection at all.

Ooops - I was thinking of the general case and forgot the specifics
