Yes, I agree. This is definately a proposal worth considering.

No, no, no!!!
I know, it sounds nice, but believe me, it just doesn't work. 
Someone over here brought this up on our local network, and we've
been discussing it over and again, and indeed, it sounds appealing,
but when you work out the details you'll find lots of inconsistencies
and problems. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, there are already
enough other proposals on this net which ask for our attention.

Well, we've actually done it here, and it works out just fine. Of course,
we had to make certain minor changes like "DfXlkfl;:" instead of
"dfslkfl;" as was indicated in the original article. You'll note that
otherwise a contradiction arises when "ZZ" is implemented.

	Alright! I'm sick of this! Why is it that every time someone
puts a good piece into public domain, somebody has to good and change
the source! The next thing to happen it some BO-ZO will try to use
this changed version without taking the time to read the documentation -
and naturally the FOOL starts flaming to the original poster!!!!

	You all don't seem to get the point. Indeed, Ed, it is possible
to adapt the thing to your local network, when all machines are compa-
tible, none is running notesfiles, all are little-endian, and at least
some of them are not feeding news to decvax, mcvax or purdue (and per-
haps others, I've not yet got time to find out), and some other little
things. *But not all sites of USENET do!!!* And what is happening then
is that everybody starts making his local patches, and we end up even
worse than we started. The whole mistake is due to the starting "q",
which supposes a local "edsgr w534cb67835", since otherwise indeed "ZZ"
goes wrong in boundary cases.
	I must say I do not yet completely understand Ed's patch, it
occurs to me that this only works because of some local changes to the
rot13 algorithm. That can hardly be called "portable", can it?
	Geoff, I think your argument goes wrong at the word "good".
	I would say: quit the idea, the gains for sf-movie-lovers do
not outweigh the burden for the rest of us.
