There is only one problem.  Suppose that the ROT 13 encoder is messed up
on your system, as I believe it was on the "gay blade" joke?
 
Or, suppose you are clueless (like I am) and don't know how to rotate a
joke.
 
And how do you figure out what might be offensive and what might not? I
posted a joke awhile back having to do with the similarities between nuns
and the soft drink "7up."  I wasn't offended.  I told it to a catholic
friend and he wasn't offended.  But how do I know that there aren't a 
bunch of nuns on the net who would be offended?  I don't know ALL the 
different people on the net and what might offend whom.
 
I think the best way is to just be more descriptive in your headers and
rotate stuff that might be offensive.  If you (don't know how/can't)
rotate the joke, DON'T POST IT UNTIL YOU (FIGURE OUT HOW/CAN).
